HMDG Connect: The Inner Circle of UK MSK Clinic Owners
The Private Network Behind the UK’s Most Successful Clinics
Built by HMDG. By invitation only.
Running a clinic can be isolating. You’re treating patients, managing staff, handling the numbers, and still expected to grow.
Most of what’s online is noise. Every coach claims to have a “system.” Few have real data.
HMDG Connect exists to fix that.
It’s a private members’ network exclusively for HMDG clients: the UK’s most ambitious physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, and podiatry clinic owners.
A place where leaders share what works, solve real problems together, and access the collective intelligence of an entire industry.

Trusted by 500+ UK Clinics
Every member of HMDG Connect runs a real clinic. Many are multi-site, high-performing, or regional leaders.
They’re setting pricing benchmarks, refining patient experience, and defining how private healthcare operates in the UK.
This is where the conversations that shape the MSK sector happen long before they reach the wider industry.
Why Connect Exists
Private practice has always been fragmented. Every clinic reinventing the wheel, alone.
HMDG Connect changes that. You get:
Access to the smartest operators in the UK
Real-world data from hundreds of clinics
A trusted professional environment free of noise and ego
The people defining the future of private MSK care
It’s not networking. It’s evolution.
What This Is Not
This is not a Facebook group.
This is not for beginners.
This is not a “get rich quick” forum.
This is not where people argue about lead magnets or funnels.
This is a professional network for established clinic owners who value evidence, execution, and excellence. Not hype.
Who It’s For
- Clinics with proven operations looking to scale intelligently
- Multi-site and multi-disciplinary businesses focused on profitability
- Owners who want predictable performance, not theory
- Professionals who value collaboration and clinical integrity
- Leaders who prefer data and execution over empty advice
If that’s you, you’re the kind of clinic that thrives inside Connect.
