TESTIMONIAL

What Our Patients Say

  • I developed tennis elbow that made even holding a cup painful. After a few sessions the pain eased, and with the rehab plan I can now lift weights and get through the day without that constant ache holding me back.

    Sarah Mitchell

    Tennis Elbow Patient

    Golfer’s elbow had been bothering me for months. I could not grip properly and even carrying shopping bags hurt. The treatment and strengthening work have made a huge difference and I am finally back to training without pain.

    Jonathan Reed

    Golfer’s Elbow Patient

    A wrist sprain left me struggling to type at work and even simple things like cooking were hard. After treatment and stability exercises I have regained strength and can get through the day comfortably again.

    Emily Foster

    Wrist Pain Patient

    arpal tunnel caused constant tingling and weakness in my hands and was affecting my job. The combination of soft tissue work and specific nerve gliding exercises eased the symptoms, and I can now use my hands normally again.

    Michael Turner

    Carpal Tunnel Patient

  • I injured my wrist at the gym and lost grip strength for pressing and pushing. With targeted manual therapy and progressive strengthening, I regained stability and can now lift comfortably with no restrictions.

    Rebecca Hayes

    Wrist Injury Patient

    Hand stiffness made daily activities like opening jars and driving uncomfortable. After joint mobilisations and mobility exercises my grip strength improved significantly, and I now have much better functional use of my hands.

    Christopher Shaw

    Hand Pain Patient

    I had ongoing elbow pain that stopped me from playing tennis and it even hurt to write at work. The treatment eased it off quickly and with the exercises I was given the pain has stayed away. I am now back enjoying tennis again.

    Laura Bennett

    Elbow Pain Patient

    Typing all day left my wrists sore and heavy by the end of the week. After a few treatments and some simple exercises the pain has gone. I can now get through long work days comfortably without that constant ache.

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Pain on the outside of your elbow? Tennis elbow is caused by overuse of the forearm muscles, leading to inflammation and microtears in the tendons. Despite the name, it affects more than just athletes — desk workers, gym goers, and manual labourers are often affected. Early treatment reduces pain and speeds up recovery.

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inside of your elbow, typically from repetitive gripping, lifting, or throwing. It’s common in sports and jobs that involve wrist flexion. Our targeted rehab approach reduces irritation, restores strength, and prevents flare-ups.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Experiencing numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand? Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve gets compressed in the wrist. We help reduce pressure through hands-on treatment and corrective exercises — no need to rush to surgery.

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis

Pain at the base of your thumb that worsens with gripping or lifting? De Quervain’s is inflammation of two key tendons around the wrist, often affecting new mums, gym users, and manual workers. Our rehab targets the root cause and improves tendon glide without pain.

TFCC Injury (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex)

A TFCC tear causes pain on the little finger side of the wrist, especially during twisting or weight-bearing movements. It's common in athletes, lifters, and those who fall on an outstretched hand. Our approach focuses on restoring wrist stability and loading tolerance.

Wrist Sprains & Ligament Injuries

Wrist sprains happen when the ligaments that support the joint are overstretched or torn, often due to a fall, sports injury, or accident. We assess the severity and guide you through hands-on treatment, progressive strengthening, and safe return to activity.

Ulnar Nerve Entrapment (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome)

If you're feeling pins and needles in the ring and little fingers, or elbow pain that worsens with bending, you might have ulnar nerve compression. We use nerve glides, postural retraining, and hands-on techniques to relieve pressure and restore function.

Trigger Finger (Stenosing Tenosynovitis)

Struggling with a finger that gets stuck or clicks when you bend it? Trigger finger is caused by narrowing of the tendon sheath. With the right rehab and soft tissue release, most cases improve without injections or surgery.

Arthritis (Wrist, Hand, or Elbow)

Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in the upper limb can limit your ability to grip, lift, or even hold a cup. We help manage pain, preserve mobility, and strengthen surrounding muscles — so you can keep doing the things you love.

Break Free from Elbow, Wrist and Hand Pain and Take Back Your Strength

Pain in your elbow, wrist or hand does more than cause discomfort. It limits your grip, reduces your strength and makes everyday tasks frustrating. Left untreated, these injuries can get worse and keep you from training, working or living normally.

Many people try rest, strapping or painkillers, but the pain often returns as soon as you use your arm again. These short-term fixes only mask the problem. Without the right rehabilitation the cycle never ends.

Effective elbow, wrist and hand pain treatment means finding and fixing the root cause. With the right rehabilitation plan you can relieve pain quickly, restore mobility and grip strength, and prevent flare ups from coming back.

Common conditions we treat include tennis elbow, golfers elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist sprains and repetitive strain injuries. Each has a cause and each has a solution when treated properly.

The sooner you begin treatment the faster your recovery and the stronger your long-term results. Early intervention prevents ongoing damage and helps you get back to pain free movement with confidence.

Beyond Quick Fixes: The Smarter Solution for Elbow, Wrist and Hand Pain

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to recover from elbow wrist or hand pain?

Recovery varies depending on the condition and severity. Tennis elbow / golfers elbow: 6 weeks to 6 months, with some chronic cases lasting up to a year if untreated. Carpal tunnel syndrome: mild cases can improve within weeks with splinting and rehab, but persistent cases may need longer-term management or surgery. Wrist sprains: usually 2 to 6 weeks depending on ligament damage. RSI: can take several months and requires activity modification. Early intervention with rehabilitation is proven to shorten recovery time and reduce recurrence.

Can rehabilitation exercises really fix elbow wrist and hand pain?

Yes. Multiple clinical studies confirm that eccentric and isometric strengthening, combined with mobility and ergonomic correction, significantly reduce pain and improve function in elbow and wrist tendinopathies. In carpal tunnel, nerve gliding exercises plus ergonomic changes have been shown to improve symptoms in early stages. Rehabilitation is most effective when personalised and combined with education and load management.

When should I see a specialist for elbow wrist or hand pain?

You should seek help if: Pain lasts longer than 10 to 14 days despite rest. You notice weakness in grip, dropping objects, or numbness in the hand. Pain keeps returning and interferes with work, training, or sleep. Research shows that early rehabilitation reduces chronicity and prevents long-term tendon or nerve changes, which are harder to treat.

Research shows that early rehabilitation reduces chronicity and prevents long-term tendon or nerve changes, which are harder to treat.

How can I stop elbow wrist or hand pain from coming back?

Prevention relies on: Strengthening the forearm, wrist, and hand muscles. Ergonomic corrections at workstations to reduce repetitive strain. Progressive load management in sports and lifting to avoid overuse. Mobility and stretching to maintain healthy tendon and nerve function. Evidence shows that combining these strategies lowers recurrence rates significantly, especially in tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Does resting alone cure elbow wrist or hand injuries?

Rest may temporarily ease symptoms, but research shows that rest alone does not address the underlying cause of most injuries. For conditions like tennis elbow or golfers elbow, complete rest can actually weaken the tendon over time. The most effective approach is active rehabilitation — using the right combination of strengthening, mobility, and load management to restore long term function.

Is surgery ever needed for elbow wrist or hand pain?

Surgery is rarely the first option. Most conditions, including tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome, respond well to conservative treatment such as rehabilitation, splinting, or injections if needed. Surgery may be considered only in severe or persistent cases that do not improve after months of structured rehab. Research consistently shows that early, targeted rehabilitation can prevent the need for surgery in the majority of patients.
