Hand and finger pain is often sent away

Most general physiotherapy clinics will refer hand and finger problems elsewhere, because these small, intricate structures need specialist knowledge to assess and treat well. That leaves a lot of people stuck, waiting, or unsure where to turn.

We are different. We have a dedicated hand specialist who treats these conditions directly:

  • Stiff, painful, or locking fingers that catch when you bend them
  • Climbing finger injuries like pulley strains and tears
  • Pain gripping, pinching, or using the hand at work or in sport
  • Stiffness and weakness after a hand or finger fracture
  • Recovering from hand surgery and needing expert rehab
  • Loss of dexterity or strength affecting daily life

The right hands-on assessment and rehab can restore movement, strength, and confidence in your hand.

What we treat

Hand and finger conditions we treat

Our hand specialist treats the conditions that need detailed, expert assessment, including:

Trigger finger

A finger that catches, clicks, or locks when bent, from irritation of the flexor tendon.

Climbing pulley injuries (A2)

Finger pulley strains and tears from crimping, a common and specific climbing injury.

Finger sprains and dislocations

Jammed, sprained, or previously dislocated finger joints that stay stiff or swollen.

Thumb base pain and arthritis

Pain and weakness at the base of the thumb, affecting grip and pinch.

Hand and finger tendon pain

Tendinopathy and overuse pain in the hand from gripping, lifting, or repetitive work.

Post-fracture and post-surgical rehab

Restoring movement, strength, and dexterity after a hand or finger fracture or surgery.

Our approach

Specialist hand and finger rehab

Detailed assessment
Hand and finger structures are small and intricate, so assessment has to be precise. We examine the specific tendons, joints, ligaments, and pulleys involved to get the diagnosis exactly right, then explain it clearly.
Hands-on treatment
Targeted manual therapy, joint mobilisation, and soft tissue work to restore movement and reduce pain in the affected fingers and hand.
Progressive loading and strengthening
Specific, graded exercises to rebuild grip, pinch, and finger strength, whether the goal is climbing performance, work, or simply confident daily use.
Splinting and load management
Where helpful, we advise on splinting, taping, and how to modify gripping and loading so the injury can settle while you stay as active as possible.
Climbing-specific rehab
For climbers, we tailor finger rehab to the demands of crimping and gripping, and stage your return to the wall so the injury does not recur. See also our climbing physio page.
Working with hand surgeons
For conditions needing surgery, we provide expert post-surgical rehab and can liaise where appropriate, so your recovery is properly supported.

Questions? We have got answers

Do you treat hand and finger conditions other physios refer on?

Can you treat climbing finger injuries?

Yes. Climbing finger injuries, particularly A2 pulley strains and tears, are a specific area we treat. We tailor rehab to the demands of crimping and gripping and stage your return to the wall to avoid recurrence.

Do you do post-surgical hand rehab?

Yes. We provide expert rehabilitation after hand and finger surgery, restoring movement, strength, and dexterity, and can liaise with your surgeon where appropriate.

Do I need a referral?

No referral needed. You can book directly. We also accept Simplyhealth and Medicash cash plans.

What should I expect at the first appointment?

A detailed assessment of the affected hand and fingers, hands-on treatment, a clear explanation of the diagnosis, and a personalised plan to take away.
