Shoulder, Elbow and Wrist Pain Physio in Hackney

This covers rotator cuff pain and shoulder impingement, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and wrist pain including de Quervain’s tenosynovitis. Common causes include repetitive load from training, work or hobbies, and long periods at a desk. NHS guidance suggests using the affected limb supports recovery better than complete rest. Seek urgent medical attention for a deformed joint after an injury, or if you cannot move the limb at all.

We take a full history of how your pain started, what movements or loads aggravate it, and what you need your shoulder, elbow or wrist to do, whether that is bench pressing again or simply lifting your child without pain. Our assessment includes movement testing, strength testing and, where relevant, screening for imaging needs, before we explain our findings and agree a plan with you.

Upper limb tendon and joint pain often improves gradually over several weeks as you build tolerance to load, and we will set clear milestones with you rather than a vague timeline. Where imaging would genuinely change your treatment plan, our imaging-trained physiotherapist can advise on this as part of your care.
