Hands On Physiotherapy

Hands On Physiotherapy I’m Rachael Dickinson, senior physiotherapist and director of Hands On Physiotherapy in Poole, Dorset. Why use Hands On Physiotherapy? Call 07818 455720.

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.

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.

At Hands on Physiotherapy, we help patients stay active all year long 💪 Don’t let the chill bring the ache - get in touch to see how our team can help you!

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

Wow, what a difference Tesni has made to my wrist. I have early stage arthritis and when I went to her had limited movement and was in a lot of pain. After 8 sessions the pain is almost gone and the difference in the range of movement is amazing. Thank you

If you’re spending more time indoors, your workspace setup matters more than ever. Poor posture and limited movement lead to tension in your neck, shoulders, and back.

Try standing up every hour, adjusting your chair height, and stretching your upper body throughout the day. Your body will thank you 👏

I have been having back problems for a long time and have tried various chiropractors, osteopaths and physios. Rachael was recommended to me by a fellow golfer.After just one visit, I immediately felt a vast improvement.I wasn't just told to try various exercises and come back in two weeks, like so many other places.Rachel did a thorough examination and asked questions before actively locating and releasing tight muscle areas.When I stood up from her bench, I instantly felt a massive difference. It was such a relief to not only feel better, but also the fact that I had found someone who could really help.- Paul Matthews

I feel so lucky that a friend recommended Hands On Physiotherapy to me. It made a real change to my life and wellbeing.Basically, after three years of chronic pain which was getting from bad to worse, i was becoming unable to sleep, go for a long walk, or have even a moderate excersise.All that has changed now, thanks to the very experienced and talented practitioners in this practice. I have regained almost all my abilities, and I am able to enjoy life to the full yet again.Thank you so much, dear Rachel and Tesni!
