Noticed a new, hard lump in your palm? ✋

It could be the start of Dupuytren's Disease, a condition where the connective tissue (fascia) in the palm thickens and tightens. Over time, it can form cords that pull your fingers inward—a Dupuytren's Contracture.

While the condition itself isn't curable, Hand Therapy is vital for monitoring progression and managing symptoms and timely onward referral to orthopaedics.

I provide expert assessment and monitoring in Hempstead. If you require surgery or other interventions, I will manage your post-operative scar care and provide specialist splinting to maximise your hand function.

If you are concerned about a palm lump in Kent, let's get it assessed.

Still getting pain months after a wrist sprain? 🍂

"Sprains" often hide complex ligament tears or subtle wrist instability that don't show up on a standard X-ray. If your wrist feels weak, clicks, or aches after activity, you need a specialist assessment.

If you are struggling with chronic wrist pain in Maidstone or Medway, I can provide a targeted rehabilitation plan—focusing on proprioception and strengthening—to stabilize the joint and get you back to full function.

Don't ignore a weak wrist.

Waking up with a numb "funny bone" and tingling in your little finger? 🌙

While many people know Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, this sensation is often caused by Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, compression of the Ulnar nerve right where it passes the elbow. It frequently flares up if you sleep with your elbows bent tightly.

If you don't manage it, it can lead to hand weakness and difficulty with fine motor tasks.

I offer expert nerve compression treatment in Kent, including targeted neural gliding exercises and custom night splinting to rest the nerve in a neutral position. Let's get you sleeping without the tingling.

A generic "splint" from A&E is often just the beginning of recovery.

This patient came to see me in Hempstead after a finger fracture that was healing stiff and weak. Their feedback? "I was told it would heal on its own, but I couldn't bend it. Early physio and hand therapy was the game-changer."

Following rehab, the finger is now straight, strong, and most importantly, functional. We used targeted exercises, oedema management, and a low-profile custom splint to get them back to full motion.

If you’ve experienced a finger injury in Kent, don't wait for stiffness to set in.

Is pain on the thumb side of your wrist making everyday tasks difficult? 😫

You might be experiencing De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis — inflammation of the tendons that move your thumb. It’s often caused by repetitive wrist movements, such as lifting a baby, gardening, or even excessive texting.

The good news is that it’s highly treatable without surgery.

Resting the tendons is often the crucial first step. I specialise in fabricating custom thermoplastic splints or fitting pre-fabricated splints that provide precise support, allowing the inflammation to settle while you continue with your daily activities.

If you’re struggling with wrist pain in Medway, I can help you manage it.

“I finally have my independence back.” 🔑

After hand surgery, even simple tasks like doing up a button or turning a key can feel like a real challenge.

A recent patient in Gillingham came to me feeling frustrated by reduced grip strength and lack of confidence using their hand. Through a structured rehabilitation plan, we focused on restoring movement, rebuilding strength, and gradually returning to everyday tasks.

Now, they’re back to using their hand with confidence and independence again.

In my work providing hand therapy in Medway, these moments are what matter most—helping people get back to living their normal life.

Recovery doesn’t happen on its own—the right rehab makes all the difference.

You don’t have to play tennis to get Tennis Elbow 🎾

I often see this condition in people who spend a lot of time typing, lifting, decorating, or doing repetitive tasks around the house.

It’s an overuse injury that causes pain on the outside of the elbow—sometimes making simple things like lifting a kettle or holding a cup uncomfortable.

In my clinic, I focus on targeted rehabilitation, including eccentric loading exercises and activity modification, to help the tendon recover properly and reduce pain.

If your elbow is limiting your day-to-day activities, it’s worth getting it assessed early.

The cast is off… now what? 🦴

Coming out of a cast after a wrist fracture can feel frustrating. Your wrist often feels stiff, weak, and unfamiliar—and that’s completely normal.

But this is also the most important stage of recovery.

I recently helped a patient from Rainham who struggled to even lift a plate at first. With the right rehabilitation—focused on restoring movement and gradually rebuilding strength—they’re now back in the gym with confidence.

In my clinic, I provide post-fracture hand therapy in Medway, helping you safely regain function and get back to daily life.

It’s not a spa treatment… but it feels just as good 🕯️✨

I use paraffin wax therapy in my clinic to help reduce stiffness and ease pain in the small joints of the hand—especially for arthritis or post injury stiffness.

The gentle heat works deep into the tissues, improving circulation and making movement more comfortable. It’s often the perfect way to prepare your hands before exercises, helping you get more from your rehabilitation.

If your hands feel stiff, achy, or difficult to move, this can be a simple but effective part of your recovery.

Does your finger ever get “stuck” and then suddenly click back into place? ☝️

This is commonly known as Trigger Finger. It happens when the tendon becomes irritated and can’t glide smoothly, causing that catching or locking sensation.

It might seem minor at first, but it can quickly start to affect everyday tasks like gripping, lifting, or even holding a cup.

In my clinic, I provide specialist hand therapy in Medway and Hempstead, using splinting and targeted exercises to reduce irritation and restore smooth, pain-free movement.

Early treatment makes a big difference—don’t wait for it to get worse.
