Physiotherapy is used to treat conditions and injuries to the body through the use of a variety of techniques such as mobilisations, deep tissue massage, manipulation, exercise and electrotherapy. Being well established Chartered Physiotherapists over many years means we have subsequently developed excellent working relationships with personal trainers, GP’s and consultants. We specialise in Sports injuries and every day stresses and strains. We strongly believes in adopting a hands on manual approach to diagnosing and treating a vast range of muscular, joint and neurological problems. This means we don’t simply talk to you and advise you on exercises, but actively strive to identify the source of your problems and work together using manual techniques to resolve it.

Winter doesn’t have to put your fitness routine on pause. Cold weather can make your muscles feel tighter and your energy dip, but consistent movement keeps your joints mobile, your circulation strong, and your mood lifted. Try shorter workouts, indoor warm-ups, or brisk outdoor walks. Small, steady efforts make all the difference when daylight is limited.
At Hands On Physiotherapy Ltd, we help people stay active and injury-free all winter with personalised plans that make movement feel doable.

I cannot recommend Tesni highly enough. I was in a lot of pain after a sprained ankle & niggling tennis elbow, I also have chronic migraines. Tesni’s holistic approach has helped me to get back to my favourite exercise routines & given me significant pain reduction. If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring physiotherapist, look no further!

Myth vs Fact - Winter edition!

❌ Myth: Discomfort during colder months is just something to live with

✅ Fact: While seasonal joint stiffness is common, many find that regular, gentle movement and supportive routines can make a meaningful difference. Strategies like having regular deep tissue massages, guided mobility work, staying warm, and taking movement breaks may help improve comfort and keep joints feeling more at ease.

Winter doesn’t have to mean staying still. Small, consistent habits can help support better mobility all season long.

Ever notice your joints feel stiffer when temperatures drop? You’re not imagining it - colder weather can tighten muscles and slow circulation, making movement feel tougher.

The good news? Staying mobile, warm, and hydrated can help keep discomfort at bay. Layer up, stretch often, and keep moving - even small amounts of gentle exercise make a big difference.

When it’s cold, your body naturally diverts blood flow to vital organs, leaving your hands, feet, and joints colder - and sometimes more achy ❄️

Combat this by moving often, wearing thermal layers, and drinking plenty of water.

If you struggle with poor circulation or winter stiffness, physiotherapy can help you improve mobility and blood flow safely. Stay ahead of the chill with a visit to Hands on Physiotherapy
