Hands On Physiotherapy
The practice was established in 1993 by Andrea Wright and Philippa Widdowson. Success has come through effective patient management, enabling patients to understand their problem and help them to resolve the cause, whether it is due to poor posture, sports injury, an accident or just the way we are made!

The physios you will see have years of clinical expertise and patient care. They are extremely knowledgeable which enables the client to have the least number of sessions. The practice has been in Handforth for 24 years, having (in 2006) relocated to a purpose built, modern and spacious clinic.
Services
As the name suggests, our ethos is getting to the root of your problem, using expert manual techniques. We believe in personalised solutions to your problem. This means we take the time to properly diagnose the underlying cause of your pain or discomfort. We then design a treatment and rehabilitation programme focused on your needs.
All our staff are highly qualified, skilled and experienced professional physiotherapists. They all undertake regular post graduate training to ensure they are kept up to date with all current techniques. All staff are members of the C.S.P, H.C.P.C and PhysioFirst. You will find them to be friendly, efficient and courteous.
Hands-On offer a truly first class physio treatment experience that delivers results. Over the years I have visited the practice with various aches and pains and the team take time to assess, consider and explain the problem or injury, greatly assisting with the speed of rehabilitation and recovery.

Fantastic treatment from zara, went in with severe leg pain. Zara gave a concise diagnosis and course of treatment required. Appointments were always on time and the treatment has fixed the problem to leave me pain free again.

Highly recommend them to anyone who is considering physio. I had been struggling with pain off and on for years and decided to finally make an appointment, and I'm so thankful I did! Over the course of a few sessions Zara has helped me combat the pain I was dealing with whilst also teaching me a lot about my body and the way I move, encouraging me to ask questions, to ensure that once I stepped out of there I knew exactly what I was doing. All the staff are friendly and welcoming but I'd particularly recommend Zara as she extremely knowledgeable and in my case has given me valuable tools that will

The staff are extremely friendly, professionals and go the extra mile for their clients.
During my last experience, I was short on time and needed a steroid injection in my heel, which they managed to organise within a matter of hours. I'm truly grateful and recommend them highly.

I have been to the practise several times and have always found the staff there extremely helpful. I originally went with a great pain in my knee. Andrea found the root of the problem quickly and advised me of appropriate exercises to help reduce/manage the pain, as well as informing me about specialist insoles. After buying a pair from the practice I feel much better and have notice an improvement in my bodies natural standing position. I strongly recommend this practise for its great knowledgeable and friendly staff! They really try to get problems resolved as quickly as possible!
