Updated 9 November 2026

Looking to acquire a physiotherapy or allied health practice in the UK? Firmbase ranks 764 physiotherapy and allied health practices using public company information to help buyers prioritise firms for research and potential outreach. The Approach Score ranks firms using public signals including director age and tenure, ownership, business scale, financial strength and recent changes. These firms are not listed for sale, and the ranking does not indicate that an owner is considering a sale.

The median firm has 8 staff and has been in business for 13 years.

Physiotherapy clinics sit alongside podiatry, chiropractic and hearing clinics in this list, so clinical specialisms need identifying before businesses are compared. Private physiotherapy involves assessment and a treatment plan that can extend across several sessions, rather than a single standard service. For anyone buying a physiotherapy practice, examine the treatment offered, how sessions are paid for and which practitioners provide them.

Cover more allied health disciplines with registered clinicians

A new clinic should add disciplines your current clinicians do not already offer. Firmbase covers 764 UK limited-company and LLP physiotherapy and allied health practices with five or more staff. Use geography to narrow the practices that could be supervised by your clinical leads.

Ownership can guide a regional search, but it cannot speak for any practitioner or owner. Among allied health firms in this list, 34% have one person holding 75% or more. The median allied health headcount is 8. Public company information cannot show whether a practice owner would discuss a transaction. Use the facts beneath each Approach Score to select firms for direct research.

Consider how each potential clinic would add capacity to the existing team and referral network. Check room use and practitioner capacity before projecting a larger patient schedule. Review how clinical records and referrals are managed across the disciplines. Ask how each clinic covers practitioner absence without cancelling booked appointments.

Build a pipeline around clinical work your team can support, then prioritise outreach based on verified company facts. For allied health acquisitions, Firmbase offers a sourcing tool, not a list of businesses for sale. Check physiotherapists, podiatrists and hearing aid dispensers on the Health and Care Professions Council register, and chiropractors on the General Chiropractic Council register. Confirm patient records and practitioner arrangements before assuming care would continue unchanged.

Frequently asked questions

How might I approach an allied health practice owner?

Identify yourself at first contact and specify the clinical specialism you hope to understand. Say Firmbase led you to their details on the public Companies House register. Tell the owner how to object to your use of their data; stop contacting them if they do. Before calling, check the number against the Telephone Preference Service and the Corporate Telephone Preference Service. Keep patient relationships and practitioner autonomy in mind when describing a possible combination.

Which professional registers matter for allied health practices?

Check physiotherapists, podiatrists and hearing aid dispensers through the Health and Care Professions Council register. Use the General Chiropractic Council's Find a Chiropractor search for chiropractic practitioners. These are professional checks, so also establish which services the business provides and who delivers them. Registration of a clinician does not establish that every treatment offered by a company is within that person's role.

How should I use the Approach Score for a clinic?

The Approach Score puts public company signals into an order for research; the methodology page explains that order. A clinic's practitioners, treatment outcomes and patient relationships need separate examination. Use the underlying company record to choose where to look first. It cannot say whether the owner of a physiotherapy or allied health practice would consider a discussion.

What should happen to patient relationships after a change?

Plan how treatment courses and records would be handled before discussing a transition with patients. Review who has clinical responsibility for each case and which practitioners patients expect to see. Ask the practice how referrals are received and how follow-up appointments are arranged. Communicate any proposed change through an agreed process that protects confidentiality and lets patients make their own care choices.

How this list is built

The Approach Score ranks firms mainly on public Companies House information about owner tenure and age, ownership, size, financial strength and recent register changes.

Firms with higher scores appear first in each list.

Use the ranking to order research, then check each business directly.

What it does not mean

No firm here is for sale, and the score says nothing about any owner's plans.

At least 95% of the firms where we hold directors had them checked in or after November 2026.

What we do not cover

We cover limited companies, LLPs and private unlimited companies. Sole traders and ordinary partnerships are not on Companies House, so they are not here. Regulatory information is not included in this list. Buyers should check the relevant register as part of their due diligence. Check physiotherapists, podiatrists and hearing aid dispensers on the Health and Care Professions Council register. For chiropractors, use the General Chiropractic Council's register.

Why age bands but no people's names

Age bands come from the month and year of birth on Companies House. This page shows no exact ages and no people's names. Both come with the purchased list. The band edges from 45 to 65 are the ages where the score changes. A row shows no age bands when a director's surname is in the firm's name, its group's name or its website. Those directors' ages still count towards the score.

Is this your firm?

You can ask us to take it off every acquisition page, and out of every list we sell after that. Give us your name and work email, and we send you a link to confirm. If your email address is on the firm's own website domain, the firm comes off once you confirm. If it is not, a person reviews your request first. A list already sold stays with its buyer.
