By Car

Handforth Physiotherapy is based at 59 Wilmslow Road. It's around 2.5 miles from Wilmslow town centre, roughly 5 minutes by car (traffic dependent). We don't have our own on-site car park, but there's a Pay & Display car park directly opposite the clinic - 90p per hour, or free after 3pm - where a space is almost always available; many patients tell us the small fee is well worth a guaranteed spot. Free parking is also available on Sagars Road, a two-minute walk from the clinic.

From the station, a short drive or taxi is the easiest way to reach us.
