(Check out ‘Our Staff’ pages)
Our physiotherapists have a wealth of knowledge, understanding and experience spanning many different physiotherapy techniques applied to many conditions. They include ex-senior NHS staff and ones who have expanded their techniques after working in private clinics abroad. We feel we stand out because our aim is to do a thorough job to get brilliant, long term results and not have you returning for endless, pointless appointments.
We carry out an in-depth diagnosis of your complaint, which takes into account your lifestyle, injury history and any accidents which may have contributed to it.
They will then use a variety of strength and mobility tests, joint manipulation and mild pressure to assess your symptoms and explain how your body has been affected. Next we develop a unique treatment plan for you.
🔸 Here are some common patient complaints our male and female physiotherapists deal with:
Sciatica
Whiplash injuries
Headaches
Discogenic lesions ‘Slipped disc’
Muscular back pain
Posture related back and neck problems
Chronic pain
women’s health
PGP
Incontinence
Post surgical rehabilitation
ACL reconstruction
Arthroscopy
Shoulder decompression or rotator cuff repair
Post fracture rehabilitation
Expert rehabilitation post trauma to ensure fast return to full function and sport
🔸 What is a Hands On Physiotherapy session like?
Following a thorough examination of your health and medical history, your physiotherapist will discuss what you hope to achieve. Your physiotherapist will design a personalised programme to rehabilitate you and ensure you are able to achieve a pain-free lifestyle as quickly as possible (encouraging customers to return for unnecessary appointments is not our philosophy). The techniques used to achieve this will vary but will be based upon forms of manual manipulation such as massage, prescribed movement, exercise, education and advice. We also use our advanced MLS Class IV Laser for areas too sensitive to be touched or for very quick recovery from certain conditions: handsonwellbeing.com/mls-class-iv-therapeutic-laser.
🔸 Who could benefit from physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy can be useful for people who have suffered from a sporting injury, or experience problems in their bones, joints or soft tissue. It is also recommended for use in those who have problems with movement caused by a stroke, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease. A scheme of physiotherapy sessions is also suitable for those who require rehabilitation following a heart attack or time spent in hospital.
Physiotherapy helps people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.

POST SURGERY Rehabilitation for NHS or private: hip and knee replacement patients - how Hands On can help you.
Have you, or any of your family and friends undergone a hip or knee replacement?
We often find that patients are desperate for more time with their physiotherapist after surgery, to aid optimal progression through their rehabilitation. Sometimes there just isn't the funding or resources for vital, regular sessions.
Why are you telling me this and how can Hands On help me with my hip or knee replacement?
At Hands On, we run a hip and knee replacement program, giving patients the opportunity to spend more time with a specialist physiotherapist, guiding them through the rehabilitation process, step by step.
Here's what’s on offer!
Expertise >>> You will be in the care of our expert physiotherapists.
Safety >>> Many patients can be anxious about performing their exercises at home, especially after major surgery. Spending time under our experts’ supervision will ensure you are performing the exercises correctly and safely!
Continuous support >>> Our experts will prescribe your exercises and activity at an optimal rate, meaning that you can get back to your activity, sport and being you, as soon as possible!
Clarity >>> Our physios can answer answer all the burning questions you may have forgotten to ask your consultant at the time. Can I kneel? Can I lay on my side? Can I sit in a chair at this height? When can I start using just one crutch? We can advise you at each stage of your recovery on exactly what you should and shouldn't be doing to ensure your hip or knee replacement is 100% successful!
Hands On: "A regular exercise program is key for recovery from your operation. Building up strength and restoring normal movement in your new joint will help ease pain and swelling, reduce the chance of any circulatory problems and most importantly, get you back to your activities quicker!"
