Common Conditions We Treat With Elbow, Wrist & Hand Pain Treatment
-
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are two of the most common causes of elbow pain in athletes. They occur when the tendons around the elbow become overloaded, leading to pain with gripping, lifting, throwing, or swinging. Symptoms include sharp pain on the inside or outside of the elbow, weakness in the forearm, and aching during sport or daily tasks. If untreated, these injuries can severely limit pressing, catching, racquet sports, or strength training.
At FIT4FUNCTION we identify the real cause of tendon overload and rebuild strength so you can return to full performance.
-
Wrist sprains happen when the ligaments supporting the wrist are overstretched or torn, often during falls, tackles, or heavy lifting. Athletes notice swelling, reduced grip strength, pain with push ups or pressing, and difficulty weight bearing through the hand. In severe cases the wrist may feel unstable.
We provide clear diagnosis and progressive rehabilitation to restore stability, reduce pain, and get you back to training safely.
-
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hand or fingers. It is common in athletes who rely on gripping, lifting, or repetitive wrist movements such as weightlifters, climbers, and racket sport players. If ignored, it can limit training intensity and fine motor control.
At FIT4FUNCTION we focus on nerve mobility, strength balance, load management, and practical changes that protect performance.
-
Thumb ligament injuries are common in contact sports, falls, and sports requiring strong grip such as rugby, basketball, or skiing. The ligament at the base of the thumb becomes stretched or torn, causing pain when gripping, catching, or pinching. Athletes often report weakness or instability in the thumb.
We assess the extent of ligament damage and build a structured plan to restore stability and function so you can grip, catch, and lift confidently again.
-
Fractures and dislocations of the hand or fingers are common in ball sports, martial arts, and contact sports. Symptoms include deformity, swelling, bruising, and inability to move the affected area. Even small fractures can have a big impact on sport if not managed correctly. At FIT4FUNCTION we guide recovery and rehabilitation to regain strength, dexterity, and confidence while protecting long term performance.
-
De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is a painful condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. It occurs when the tendons responsible for lifting and extending the thumb become irritated and inflamed as they pass through a tight sheath. Athletes often notice sharp pain around the base of the thumb and wrist, swelling, and difficulty gripping, lifting, or twisting. Simple tasks like opening bottles, lifting weights, catching a ball, or even using the phone can become uncomfortable.
This condition is common in sports that require repeated gripping and wrist movement such as weightlifting, tennis, climbing, boxing, and throwing sports. If left untreated it can become persistent and significantly limit strength and performance.

Do not settle for living with pain when you can move better, feel stronger, and perform again.
Stiff, aching, or nagging pain in the elbow, wrist, or hand that will not settle is easy to dismiss as overuse or “just getting older,” so many people simply put up with it.
It may ease for a short time, giving you hope it has gone, only for it to return days, hours, or even minutes later, sometimes worse than before. Gripping, lifting, typing, throwing, or training can suddenly feel harder than it should.
It is normal to wonder why it is lasting so long, how long it will take to get better, and why it keeps coming back.
Ongoing pain in the elbow, wrist, or hand can be draining. It affects mood, energy, confidence, sleep, and the way you train or work every day. Many people experience exactly the same thing.
We understand how frustrating upper limb pain can be. It can stop you lifting, gripping, or performing at your best. You are not alone. These problems are common, and with the right plan it is possible to get back to pain free movement and the activities you enjoy.
We recognise that every person’s story and symptoms are unique and treat them as such to ensure results are achieved regardless of the individuals goals.
We Have Successfully Helped Some of the Toughest Elbow, Wrist and Hand Injury Cases
Elbow, wrist, and hand injuries are a specialist area at FIT4FUNCTION. We work daily with combat sports athletes, weightlifters, CrossFit athletes, climbers, gymnasts, racket sport players, basketball athletes, and active professionals whose sport or job depends on strong, pain free grip and upper limb function.
We regularly help athletes and active people overcome complex upper limb problems including tendon pain, grip weakness, wrist instability, thumb ligament injuries, fractures, De Quervain’s, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and nerve related pain into the hand or fingers. For many, these issues have already stopped sparring, punching, pressing, Olympic lifting, grappling, or even basic daily tasks like typing or carrying shopping.
Because of our experience with combat sports injuries and strength sports, many local coaches, therapists, and gyms refer their most challenging elbow, wrist, and hand cases to us. We frequently see athletes who have already tried rest, braces, taping, injections, or generic rehab without success and are ready for a clear assessment and a plan that actually fits the demands of their sport.
Our approach is different because it bridges physiotherapy with high performance strength and conditioning. We do not just numb symptoms or tell athletes to stop training. We identify the real causes of your pain such as tendon overload, poor load management, previous injury, technique faults, or weakness in key muscle groups. Then we build a progressive, sport specific rehabilitation and return to performance plan so you can return to striking, lifting, grappling, or competing with confidence.

The fit4function pain to performance system
At FIT4FUNCTION, we specialise in helping people overcome foot and ankle pain so they can move, train, and perform at their best again. Whether you are struggling to walk without limping, aiming to return to running, or preparing for sport after injury, we follow a clear, proven process designed to take you from pain to full performance.
We go beyond simply treating the sore area. We identify the real reasons your foot or ankle continues to hurt, including how you load the joint, how you move, your strength, footwear, training history, and previous injuries. Providing you with a plan you can access daily from anywhere, anytime via our mobile app with 24/7 access to our team so you can continue to progress guaranteeing you achieve your goals.
Built in elite sport, refined for people who want more from their bodies
Our approach was shaped in high performance environments where athletes need to solve problems quickly and return to full function with confidence. This experience led us to develop a clear and systematic method that works when standard, symptom focused approaches fall short. We now use this same system to help motivated people overcome foot and ankle pain, get back to the activities they love, and reach higher levels of performance.
When athletes from Sheffield Rugby, Beardow’s Boxing, and ambitious people across our community need reliable results, they trust the FIT4FUNCTION approach. Our systematic method is designed for those who cannot simply wait and see. We focus on finding and addressing the true cause of the problem so you can get back to performing at your best with clarity and confidence.
We then build a structured plan combining physiotherapy, progressive rehabilitation, and targeted strength and conditioning to restore confidence, resilience, and lasting performance.

How We Are Different
Stop managing pain. Start performing again.
At FIT4FUNCTION we are not interested in short term fixes that fade after a few days. Our goal is to get you back using your arm with full power and control so you can grip, lift, throw, strike, and perform at your highest level again. Every session has a clear purpose and moves you closer to your goal. No wasted time and no wasted effort.
You may already have tried rest, ice, splints, taping, massage, or generic exercises. They helped for a while, then the pain came back and your training stalled. If that sounds familiar, you are exactly who we help.
This is about performance, not just pain relief.
We want you gripping the bar with confidence, punching without hesitation, hanging from a bar, catching, throwing, and returning to full training without worrying about a flare up. You will leave with a clear plan, specific strength targets, and realistic time frames so you know exactly what is needed to get back to your best.
If you are ready to take control of your performance, book your assessment now. We offer in person and online appointments, with times that fit busy training and work schedules.
Your next level starts here.
Frequently Asked Questions
