Physiotherapy at Hands On
Our physiotherapists bring a wealth of expertise, insight, and hands-on experience drawn from a broad range of techniques and clinical settings. Among our team are former senior NHS professionals and clinicians who’ve expanded their skillsets through international practice in leading private clinics. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to doing things thoroughly, with the goal of delivering lasting results, not endless repeat appointments.
Every session begins with a detailed assessment that considers your lifestyle, injury history, and any past accidents that may be contributing to your current symptoms.
Using a combination of strength and mobility testing, joint movement analysis, and gentle manual techniques, we’ll assess how your body is functioning and explain what’s going on in a clear, accessible way. From there, we’ll design a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, so you can move forward with confidence, strength, and less pain.

Your Physiotherapy Journey
Following a detailed assessment of your health, medical history, and current concerns, your physiotherapist will take the time to understand your goals and what a successful outcome looks like for you. From there, they will develop a personalised rehabilitation plan focused on helping you return to a pain-free, active lifestyle as efficiently as possible.
At Hands On, we prioritise effective, goal-oriented care—our approach is not about unnecessary repeat appointments, but about getting lasting results. Treatment may include a combination of hands-on techniques such as joint mobilisation and soft tissue massage, along with guided exercise, education, and practical advice tailored to your needs.
For conditions that are particularly sensitive or require accelerated healing, we may also incorporate our advanced MLS Class IV Therapeutic Laser, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that supports rapid recovery.
Who could benefit from physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is an effective treatment for individuals recovering from sports injuries or experiencing issues with their bones, joints, or soft tissues. It is also highly beneficial for those with movement challenges resulting from conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, physiotherapy plays a vital role in rehabilitation for patients recovering from a heart attack or extended hospital stays.
Through a tailored combination of movement and exercise, hands-on manual therapy, education, and personalized advice, physiotherapy supports your recovery and helps you regain strength, mobility, and independence.
