Injuries tied to a specific sport, grouped by sport for fast self-identification.

Joint & Limb Conditions 70

Shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, foot and ankle, tendinopathies, ligament injuries, cartilage problems, bursitis, and joint pain.

Rotator Cuff TendinopathyRotator Cuff TendinopathyA deep shoulder ache with weakness on reaching, lifting, and sleeping on that side. The cuff is irritated from load, not torn, and responds well to loaded rehab. Rotator Cuff Partial TearPartial-Thickness Rotator Cuff TearPain, weakness, and a catch on certain reaching movements. Most do not need surgery, strength and staged loading often resolve symptoms. Rotator Cuff Full TearFull-Thickness Rotator Cuff TearMarked weakness, especially lifting the arm outward or overhead. Surgery is a consideration depending on age, size of tear, and function goals. Subacromial ImpingementSubacromial Pain SyndromeA pinching at the top of the shoulder on reaching overhead or behind the back. Rotator cuff and scapular control are the usual levers. AC Joint Sprain / SeparationAcromioclavicular Joint InjuryA hard fall on the point of the shoulder, pain crossing the arm over the body, sometimes a visible step-off. Grade decides timeline and whether surgery is considered. SLAP TearSuperior Labrum Tear (Anterior-Posterior)A deep, poorly-located shoulder pain with overhead activity, often with catching or clicking. Common in throwers, swimmers, and lifters. Bankart LesionAnterior Labral TearLabral injury after a dislocation, now with a feeling of instability or apprehension on certain positions. Often a surgical decision in young patients. Shoulder InstabilityGlenohumeral InstabilityA shoulder that feels like it might slip out on certain positions. Structured strengthening and movement control are the backbone of treatment. Shoulder DislocationAnterior / Posterior Glenohumeral DislocationA shoulder forced out of the socket, now painful and reluctant to move. First-timers under 25 have high re-dislocation rates, rehab decides the future. Frozen ShoulderAdhesive CapsulitisProgressive stiffness and pain that limits reaching behind your back, overhead, or across the body. Moves through painful, stiff, and thawing stages, and can last 12 to 24 months if left alone. Biceps TendinopathyLong Head of Biceps TendinopathyPain at the front of the shoulder on reaching overhead and lifting with the arm out. Usually part of a broader rotator cuff picture. Long Head of Biceps RuptureProximal Biceps Tendon RuptureA sudden pop at the front of the shoulder followed by a Popeye-shaped bulge in the upper arm. Most heal well without surgery in older adults. Calcific Tendinopathy (Shoulder)Rotator Cuff Calcific TendinopathyA sudden, severe shoulder pain, often at night, from calcium deposits in the rotator cuff. Many settle with loading, some need a needle procedure. Shoulder OsteoarthritisGlenohumeral OsteoarthritisDeep shoulder pain with stiffness, worse in the morning and after use. Load management and strength work can delay or avoid surgery. Subscapularis TearSubscapularis Tendon TearPain at the front of the shoulder with weakness on internal rotation, hard to tuck a shirt or reach back pocket. Often missed on first look. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)Lateral Epicondyle TendinopathyPain on the outer elbow that builds with gripping and lifting, not just with tennis. A tendon loading problem, most don't need injections or surgery. Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)Medial Epicondyle TendinopathyPain on the inner elbow that worsens with gripping, throwing, or golfing. Forearm flexor overload, load-based rehab is the anchor. Olecranon BursitisElbow BursitisA swollen, tender lump at the tip of the elbow after a knock or sustained pressure. Often settles, but should be screened if red and hot. Distal Biceps TendinopathyDistal Biceps Tendinopathy / Partial TearPain at the front of the elbow on lifting and supinating. Acute tears need urgent review; tendinopathy responds to loaded rehab. Triceps TendinopathyTriceps TendinopathyPain at the back of the elbow on straightening the arm against resistance, classic in heavy lifters and throwers. Radial Tunnel SyndromePosterior Interosseous Nerve CompressionA deep, burning ache on the outer forearm just past the elbow, often mistaken for tennis elbow that won't improve. The radial nerve is being compressed. Elbow OsteoarthritisElbow OAStiffness and aching at the elbow, especially at end range, with occasional locking or catching. Often in throwers, manual workers, and post-fracture patients. Gluteal Tendinopathy (GTPS)Greater Trochanteric Pain SyndromeA deep, sharp pain on the outside of the hip, worse on lying on that side, stairs, and single-leg stance. Extremely common in women over 40, and very responsive to loaded rehab. Hip OsteoarthritisHip OAA deep groin or front-of-hip pain with stiffness, worse after sitting and on turning in bed. Strength and load management delay or avoid surgery for many. Piriformis SyndromePiriformis Muscle EntrapmentDeep buttock pain sometimes with a sciatic-type referral down the leg, worse with prolonged sitting or driving. Often confused with lumbar sciatica, but from a different source. Hip Labral TearAcetabular Labral TearDeep groin pain, catching, and clicking on pivoting or deep hip flexion. Often part of a broader FAI picture, not all tears need surgery. Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)Cam / Pincer ImpingementDeep groin pain on deep squats, long sitting, and sharp pivoting. A bony shape issue, many patients stabilize without surgery through strength and mobility work. Adductor TendinopathyAdductor Longus TendinopathyInner-thigh and groin pain that builds with kicking, sprinting, and changing direction. Footballers and court-sport athletes are most exposed. Snapping Hip SyndromeInternal / External Snapping HipA snap or click at the front or outside of the hip on movement, sometimes painful. Almost always manageable without surgery. Iliopsoas TendinopathyIliopsoas Tendinopathy / BursitisPain at the front of the hip on lifting the knee, stairs, and getting out of a car. Often coincides with a period of overload. Proximal Hamstring TendinopathyProximal Hamstring TendinopathyA deep ache right at the sit-bone, worse on sitting, deep stretching, and running hills. Often mistaken for tight hamstrings, responds to loaded rehab, not stretching. Hip Flexor StrainIliopsoas / Rectus Femoris StrainA pull at the front of the hip after sprinting, kicking, or a sudden lunge. Graded rehab gets most back to sport cleanly. ACL InjuryAnterior Cruciate Ligament TearA sudden pop on a pivot, swelling within hours, and a knee that doesn't feel trustworthy. Surgery is one path, a structured rehab plan is always needed either way. MCL SprainMedial Collateral Ligament SprainA sideways force to the outside of the knee, now painful and swollen on the inner joint line. Most heal without surgery with staged loading. LCL SprainLateral Collateral Ligament SprainPain on the outside of the knee after a sideways blow or twist. Less common than MCL, graded based on severity and joint stability. PCL InjuryPosterior Cruciate Ligament InjuryPain at the back of the knee after a direct blow to the front of the shin, often with a feeling of laxity. Structured rehab is the primary treatment for most. Meniscus TearMeniscal TearCatching, clicking, or giving way in the knee after a twist, often with pain on deep squats and kneeling. Not every meniscus tear needs surgery, many settle with rehab. Patellofemoral Pain SyndromeAnterior Knee PainA dull ache around or behind the kneecap, worse on stairs, squats, and after sitting with knees bent. A load and control issue, not damage. Patellar TendinopathyJumper's KneePain just below the kneecap that builds with jumping, squatting, and deceleration. A tendon load problem, rest alone makes it worse. Quadriceps TendinopathyQuadriceps TendinopathyPain just above the kneecap on squats, stairs, and after sitting long. Less common than jumper's knee, same principles apply. Knee OsteoarthritisKnee OAPain and stiffness around the knee, worse after activity and on stairs. Strength and load management change the trajectory, it is not a simple wait-for-replacement story. Baker's CystPopliteal CystA tight swelling at the back of the knee, often linked to meniscal or arthritic irritation inside the joint. Treat the cause, the cyst usually follows. Pes Anserine BursitisPes Anserine Tendinopathy / BursitisTender pain on the inner side of the knee just below the joint, worse on stairs and rising from a chair. Common in runners and OA patients. Patellar DislocationPatellar Subluxation / DislocationThe kneecap slips out of its groove, often with a twisting motion. High re-dislocation risk without targeted rehab. Chondromalacia PatellaePatellar Cartilage WearA grinding or crunching around the kneecap with deep aching, worse on stairs and long sitting. Often just a load issue dressed as scary imaging. IT Band SyndromeIliotibial Band Friction SyndromeA sharp pain on the outside of the knee that appears at a predictable distance into a run or ride. Foam rolling alone rarely fixes it, rehab does. Plantar FasciitisPlantar FasciopathyA stabbing heel pain with your first steps out of bed. Eases with movement then returns, and can linger for months without proper loading. Achilles TendinopathyMid-Portion / Insertional Achilles TendinopathyBack-of-heel stiffness and soreness, worst in the morning and after rest. Loaded rehab is the most effective treatment for most cases. Achilles Partial TearAchilles Tendon Partial TearA painful, weakened push-off after a sudden strain, with thickening or a palpable gap in the tendon. Grade decides treatment path. Achilles RuptureAchilles Tendon RuptureA sudden sharp pain at the back of the calf, often described as being kicked. Decisions in the first week shape the final outcome, surgery or not. Peroneal TendinopathyPeroneal Tendinopathy / TenosynovitisPain along the outside of the ankle and foot, often after repeat sprains. The peroneals are working overtime to stabilize. Tibialis Posterior DysfunctionAdult-Acquired FlatfootPain and swelling on the inside of the ankle, with a collapsing arch and difficulty going up on tiptoe. Early treatment prevents the foot from progressively flattening. Morton's NeuromaInterdigital NeuromaA burning, electric pain between the toes on walking, often with a feeling of a pebble under the ball of the foot. Responds well to loading, footwear, and targeted rehab. Turf Toe1st MTP Joint SprainPain at the base of the big toe after a push-off that was forced too far. Common in court and turf sports, and easy to under-rehab. Bunion (Hallux Valgus)Hallux Valgus DeformityA bony bump at the base of the big toe that angles inward, often painful in certain shoes. Conservative management can delay or avoid surgery for many. Hallux RigidusBig Toe ArthritisStiffness and pain at the big toe joint, worse on push-off and going up on tiptoe. Early rehab protects joint range before it becomes fused. Ankle SprainLateral Ankle Ligament SprainA sudden roll of the ankle with swelling and pain on the outside. Grade and completeness of rehab decide whether you get re-sprains for years. High Ankle SprainSyndesmotic InjuryPain above the ankle after a twisting injury, often with pain on squeezing the lower shin. Takes longer than a typical sprain, rushing back is costly. MetatarsalgiaForefoot PainA bruised or aching feeling at the ball of the foot on walking, worse in hard-soled shoes. A loading and footwear issue, almost always manageable. SesamoiditisSesamoid Bone IrritationPain under the ball of the big toe on push-off, often after a high-impact period. Needs careful unloading, it can progress to a stress injury. Tarsal Tunnel SyndromePosterior Tibial Nerve EntrapmentBurning or numbness on the inside of the ankle and sole of the foot, worse on walking and at night. A compressed nerve, catches are high. Cuboid SyndromeCuboid SubluxationA poorly-localised ache on the outside of the foot, often after an ankle sprain. Easy to miss, and often the reason post-sprain pain lingers. Osteoarthritis (General)Degenerative Joint DiseaseJoint pain and stiffness that builds over years, worse after activity and easier with gentle movement. Load management and strength change its course. Rheumatoid ArthritisAutoimmune Inflammatory ArthritisJoint pain, swelling, and morning stiffness lasting more than an hour, often in both hands at once. Managed with your rheumatologist, rehab protects function between flares. Bursitis (General)Bursal InflammationSharp, localised pain over a joint that's worse on pressure and certain movements. Usually a symptom of something else, not the whole story. Tendinopathy (General)Tendon Overuse DisorderA tendon that's sore, stiff in the morning, and warms up with activity then aches afterwards. Rest alone rarely fixes it, loaded rehab does. Muscle StrainAcute Muscle TearA sudden pull, grab, or tear in a muscle during activity, followed by tightness and weakness. Returning too early is the single biggest cause of re-injury. Stress FractureBone Stress InjuryA pinpoint, progressive bone pain that hurts on impact and at rest. The bone is failing to keep up with loading, pushing through usually ends in a full fracture. Chronic Exertional Compartment SyndromeExertional Compartment SyndromeTight, cramping pain in the shin or calf that predictably starts at a given distance and stops minutes after you stop. A pressure-in-muscle problem. Peripheral Nerve EntrapmentPeripheral Nerve CompressionNumbness, pins and needles, or burning along a nerve path, often worse at night or in specific positions. Early decompression work protects long-term nerve function.

Hand, Wrist & Upper Limb Conditions 35

Our clinical anchor, hand therapy is its own discipline within rehabilitation.

Trigger FingerStenosing TenosynovitisA finger that catches, clicks, or locks when you bend or straighten it, sometimes with a sharp snap. Worse in the morning and usually tender at the base of the finger on the palm side. Mallet FingerExtensor Tendon Rupture / AvulsionA fingertip that suddenly droops and won't straighten after a knock to the end of the finger. The treatment window is narrow, late splinting leaves a permanent bend. Jersey FingerFDP Tendon AvulsionA finger that cannot bend at the tip after a grab-and-pull injury, classic in rugby, BJJ, and ball-gripping sports. A doctor and a hand surgeon see it first. Boutonnière DeformityCentral Slip InjuryA finger that starts to bend at the middle joint and cocks up at the tip. It follows a torn central slip, and a splint holds the middle joint straight while it heals. Swan Neck DeformityPIP Hyperextension DeformityA finger that hyperextends at the middle joint and bends at the tip. Often follows mallet finger, RA, or a volar plate injury, and demands specific splinting. Carpal Tunnel SyndromeMedian Nerve Compression at the WristNumbness, pins and needles, or burning in the thumb, index, middle, and half the ring finger, usually worse at night or holding a phone or steering wheel. The median nerve is being squeezed at the wrist. Cubital Tunnel SyndromeUlnar Nerve Compression at the ElbowNumbness in the pinky and ring finger, especially when the elbow is bent, sleeping, driving, holding a phone. The ulnar nerve is being pinched behind the elbow. De Quervain's TenosynovitisFirst Dorsal Compartment TendinopathyA sharp pain at the thumb side of the wrist, flaring when lifting a baby, pouring a kettle, or turning a doorknob. Extremely common in new mothers and caregivers. Intersection SyndromeProximal Wrist Extensor TendinitisPain, swelling, and sometimes a squeaky crepitus on the back of the forearm just above the wrist. A niche diagnosis often missed as De Quervain's. Dupuytren's ContracturePalmar FibromatosisA firm cord or nodule in the palm that slowly bends the finger toward the hand over months or years. Not painful, but steals function quietly if ignored. Ganglion CystSynovial GanglionA round, firm lump on the back or palm side of the wrist that changes size over time. Often harmless but can pinch nerves or interfere with grip if it sits in the wrong place. Mucous Cyst (DIP Joint)DIP Joint Mucous CystA small soft lump at the end joint of a finger, sometimes denting the nail. Usually linked to DIP joint arthritis, worth assessing before thinking of aspiration. TFCC TearTriangular Fibrocartilage Complex TearPain on the pinky side of the wrist, worse with twisting a doorknob, pushing up from a chair, or tight racquet shots. Often missed as just a sprain. Scapholunate Ligament InjuryScapholunate Ligament TearCentral wrist pain after a fall on outstretched hand, with clicking or giving way on load. Easy to underdiagnose, and progresses badly if missed. Lunotriquetral Ligament InjuryLT Ligament TearPain on the pinky side of the wrist on gripping and twisting. Often confused with TFCC injury, examination and imaging distinguish them. SLAC WristScapholunate Advanced CollapseProgressive wrist pain and stiffness after a long-standing scapholunate ligament injury, with arthritic wear. Rehab buys function, surgery may be the destination. SNAC WristScaphoid Nonunion Advanced CollapseWrist arthritis that follows a scaphoid fracture that didn't heal. Stability, strength, and targeted splinting manage symptoms before surgical options. Kienbock's DiseaseLunate Avascular NecrosisProgressive central wrist pain and stiffness, often without clear injury. The lunate bone is losing blood supply, early diagnosis expands the options. Boxer's Fracture5th Metacarpal Neck FractureA fracture of the knuckle of the pinky or ring finger after punching a wall or a hard object. The dropped knuckle is usually visible, and alignment decides the outcome. Skier's Thumb (Acute)Acute UCL Injury of the ThumbA sudden sideways strain on the thumb, now painful, weak, and unable to pinch properly. Often from a fall with a pole or handlebar. Gamekeeper's Thumb (Chronic)Chronic UCL Injury of the ThumbLong-standing weakness and pain on pinching and gripping at the thumb base, from an old unaddressed UCL injury. Requires specific splinting and strength work. Finger FracturePhalangeal FractureA broken finger from a jam, crush, or fall, now swollen, bruised, and stiff. Rotational alignment matters, a finger that heals rotated cannot grip. Wrist FractureDistal Radius / Scaphoid FractureA fall onto an outstretched hand, swelling, and pain at the wrist. Scaphoid fractures in particular can look minor on an X-ray but are high-stakes if missed. Thumb Arthritis (CMC OA)Thumb CMC Joint OsteoarthritisPain at the base of the thumb on pinching, opening jars, and turning keys. Splinting, joint protection, and strength often avoid the need for surgery for years. Hand OsteoarthritisHand OA (DIP / PIP Joints)Stiff, aching, sometimes knobbly finger joints that build over years. Strength, splinting, and joint-protection strategies preserve function day to day. Wrist OsteoarthritisWrist OACentral wrist stiffness and aching, worse in cold weather and on loaded positions. Often post-traumatic, rehab focuses on preserving range and power. Volar Plate Injury (PIP)PIP Joint Volar Plate InjuryA hyperextended finger after catching a ball, now swollen, stiff, and sore on the palm side. Early splinting prevents stiffness and deformity. Flexor Tendon LacerationFlexor Tendon InjuryA cut across the palm or finger followed by loss of finger bending. Repair and custom splinting are time-critical; the window for the best available outcome is narrow. Extensor Tendon LacerationExtensor Tendon InjuryA cut on the back of the hand or finger with loss of the ability to straighten. Each zone has its own rehab protocol, one-size-fits-all does not work. Peripheral Nerve Injury (Upper Limb)Nerve Laceration / CompressionNumbness, weakness, or loss of coordination in the hand after trauma, surgery, or sustained compression. Time-sensitive, nerves recover slowly and incompletely when repair is delayed. Finger Amputation RehabilitationDigital Amputation RehabRehab after a finger has been lost or shortened, scar, sensitivity, range, and function work, often with prosthetic coordination. Every stage matters. Thumb Amputation RehabilitationThumb Amputation RehabThe thumb carries about 40 percent of hand function. Rehab after loss or reconstruction runs over months, training pinch, grip and compensatory strategies. Crush Injury RehabilitationHand Crush Injury RehabSwelling, scar, stiffness, and nerve irritation after a crush. Early, carefully graded intervention prevents the hand from locking down permanently. Replantation RehabilitationDigital / Hand Replantation RehabRehab after a severed digit or hand has been reattached. Protocol-driven, highly dedicated, and starts within the first days, not weeks. Burn Hand RehabilitationHand Burn RehabManaging scar, joint tightness, and function after a hand burn. Splinting, scar work, and early movement decide whether the hand recovers usable form.

Neck, Back, Spine & Tailbone Conditions 21

Pain, stiffness, and nerve symptoms from the neck to the coccyx, including disc, joint, and postural pain.

Cervicogenic HeadacheHeadache Referred from the NeckA headache that starts at the base of the skull and spreads forward, often on one side, triggered by posture or neck movement. A neck problem wearing a headache disguise. Cervical Disc HerniationCervical RadiculopathyNeck pain with an electric, burning, or numb pattern down one arm into the hand. A disc in the neck is pressing on a nerve, most settle with conservative care. Cervical SpondylosisCervical Degenerative ChangesAge-related wear of the neck joints and discs, with stiffness, intermittent pain, and sometimes arm symptoms. Strength and mobility work maintain function. Cervical Facet Joint PainCervical Facet SyndromeLocalised neck pain that's worse on extension and rotation to the painful side. Often the driver of chronic neck stiffness, and often overlooked. WhiplashWhiplash-Associated Disorder (WAD)Neck pain, stiffness, and headaches after a sudden acceleration-deceleration, typically a rear-end car impact. Early graded movement beats the collar for most. Thoracic Outlet SyndromeNeurogenic / Vascular TOSNumbness, heaviness, or cold feeling in the arm and hand, often worse with overhead work or long drives. A compression at the base of the neck and upper chest. Thoracic Spine PainThoracic Mechanical PainA central or one-sided ache between the shoulder blades, worse on deep breaths or twisting. Often postural, sometimes a facet or rib joint issue. Scheuermann's KyphosisJuvenile Osteochondrosis of the SpineA rigid forward curve of the upper back that starts in adolescence and can persist into adulthood with pain and fatigue. Rehab preserves mobility and function. Rib Joint DysfunctionCostovertebral / Costotransverse StrainA sharp, stabbing pain between the shoulder blade and the spine, often on deep breathing or coughing. Usually settles quickly once the joint is mobilized. Lumbar Disc HerniationLumbar RadiculopathyLow back pain with an electric, burning, or numb pattern down one leg. Most resolve with time and conservative care, early guidance protects nerve recovery. SciaticaLumbar Radiculopathy / Piriformis ReferralA burning, shooting, or deep ache that runs from the buttock down the back of the leg. A nerve irritation, the source needs pinpointing, not generic stretching. Spinal StenosisLumbar Spinal Canal NarrowingLeg heaviness, cramping, or numbness that comes on with walking and eases on sitting or leaning forward. A nerve-space issue, targeted rehab extends walking tolerance. Lumbar Facet Joint SyndromeLumbar Facet PainLow back pain worse on extension and rotation, often one-sided and worse after standing a while. Often the driver of chronic back pain that imaging calls 'normal'. SpondylolisthesisVertebral SlippageA vertebra that has shifted forward on the one below, sometimes with leg symptoms. Stability-focused rehab allows most to stay active without surgery. SpondylolysisPars Interarticularis Stress InjuryLow back pain that worsens on arching the back, often in young athletes. A stress injury to the bone, return-to-sport must be staged properly. Adult ScoliosisAdult Idiopathic / Degenerative ScoliosisA sideways curve of the spine that causes pain, stiffness, or asymmetry in adults. Strength and movement control change pain, even if the curve does not. Sacroiliac Joint DysfunctionSI Joint PainLow back pain localised to one side of the dimple above the buttock, worse on standing from sitting and rolling in bed. Often mislabeled as disc or hip pain. Coccydynia (Tailbone Pain)Coccygeal PainPain at the tailbone on sitting, worse leaning back on hard surfaces. Often from a fall, childbirth, or prolonged sitting, and very responsive to targeted treatment. Coccyx Fracture RehabilitationCoccygeal Fracture RehabRehab after a fall on the tailbone with a fractured or severely bruised coccyx. Cushions, positioning, and graded loading reduce chronic pain risk. Vertebral Compression FractureOsteoporotic / Traumatic Compression FractureA sudden sharp back pain after a fall, heavy lift, or sometimes a simple movement in an older adult. Structured rehab reduces pain and prevents further fractures. Ankylosing SpondylitisAxial SpondyloarthritisSlowly progressive spine stiffness and pain, usually starting in the lower back, worse after rest and better with movement. Managed with your rheumatologist, rehab preserves posture and mobility.

Occupational & Lifestyle Conditions 13

Conditions linked to how you spend your working hours, desks, tools, parenting, instruments, wards, wheels.

Text NeckCervical Postural StrainNeck ache, stiffness, and upper back tightness from prolonged phone and screen use. A posture-under-load problem, not a structural one. Mouse ShoulderLevator Scapulae / Trapezius StrainA one-sided ache between the neck and shoulder from long hours on a mouse. Desk setup and movement variation are the main levers. Office Lower Back PainSeated Lumbar PainLow back stiffness and ache after long sitting blocks, worse at the end of the workday. A mobility and endurance issue, easily addressed. Gamer's Wrist / ThumbWrist Extensor / Thumb TendinopathyWrist, thumb, or forearm aching after long stretches of gaming. Repetitive fine movement without rest or strength base. Driver's Neck and ShoulderCervicothoracic Postural StrainNeck and upper shoulder ache after long drives, taxi, delivery, and commuter drivers are most exposed. Addressable without changing jobs. Standing-All-Day Foot PainPlantar Fasciopathy / MetatarsalgiaSore feet and aching arches at the end of shifts in nurses, retail, and food-service workers. Footwear, loading, and strength work make a real difference. Ward Nurse Lower Back PainOccupational Lumbar StrainLow back pain from lifting, transfers, and long standing shifts. Technique coaching and conditioning are core to staying in the role long-term. Parent's Wrist (Baby Lifting)De Quervain's / Wrist Extensor TendinopathyWrist and thumb pain from repeatedly lifting an infant out of a cot or high chair. New parents of all genders get hit with this. Parent's Back Pain (Child Carrying)Postural Lumbar StrainLow back pain from carrying a toddler on one hip, leaning to feed, and long nights. A capacity and load issue, very responsive to targeted work. Chef's Back and Wrist PainOccupational OveruseWrist, shoulder, and back pain in kitchen staff from long standing, chopping, and pan-handling. Rhythms and loading are the main fix. Hairdresser's ShoulderRotator Cuff TendinopathyShoulder ache from prolonged abducted-arm work. Scapular control and endurance are the usual gap. Musician-Related Wrist TendinopathyWrist Tendinopathy (Musicians)Wrist and forearm pain in pianists, violinists, and guitarists from sustained fine-motor loading. Technique review plus loaded rehab is the path. Dentist / Surgeon Neck StrainCervicothoracic Postural StrainNeck and upper back pain from prolonged forward-flexed and asymmetric working posture. Requires both ergonomics and conditioning to manage long-term.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation 25

Structured recovery after surgery. The early weeks often decide the final outcome.

Post-ACL ReconstructionPost-ACL Reconstruction RehabStructured rehab from graft protection through full return to sport, typically 9 to 12 months. Criteria-based, not time-based, to minimize re-tear. Post-PCL ReconstructionPost-PCL Reconstruction RehabSpecific protocol with early prone positioning and delayed hamstring loading. Longer return to sport than ACL for most. Post-MeniscectomyPost-Partial Meniscectomy RehabImproving range, strength, and load tolerance after partial meniscus removal. Usually faster than meniscus repair, but still criteria-based. Post-Meniscus RepairPost-Meniscal Repair RehabProtected rehab with delayed deep flexion loading to protect the repair. Months of patience now buy a preserved meniscus for life. Post-Knee ArthroscopyPost-Arthroscopic Knee Surgery RehabImproving motion, strength, and function after a diagnostic or debridement arthroscopy. Early loading gets you back to daily life quickly. Post-Total Knee ReplacementPost-TKR RehabStaged rehab to regain range, walking, and stair tolerance, usually over 12 to 16 weeks. The first 6 weeks decide your final motion. Post-Unicompartmental Knee ReplacementPost-UKR RehabA faster recovery than TKR for the right patient. Early loading and progressive strength work get most back to sport-lite activity. Post-Achilles RepairPost-Achilles Tendon Repair RehabProtected early loading with progressive heel-raise and loading protocols. Rushing calf strength costs you push-off power for years. Post-Rotator Cuff RepairPost-Rotator Cuff Repair RehabProtocol-driven rehab with sling protection, graded passive range, then active loading. The surgeon's protocol drives the timeline, not how you feel. Post-Shoulder Labral RepairPost-Bankart / SLAP Repair RehabProtected range, staged rotation work, and delayed overhead loading. High return-to-sport demands come with strict milestones. Post-Shoulder StabilizationPost-Stabilization RehabRebuilding strength and confidence after a shoulder stabilization for recurrent dislocation. Apprehension needs to be trained out, not just rested out. Post-Total Shoulder ReplacementPost-TSR / Reverse TSR RehabStaged range, deltoid-driven strength work, and improving functional reach. Reverse TSR protocols differ meaningfully from standard TSR. Post-Hip Labral RepairPost-Hip Labral Repair RehabWeight-bearing precautions, graded hip range, then strength and sport-specific loading. Return to sport typically 4 to 6 months, criteria-based. Post-Total Hip ReplacementPost-THR RehabImproving walking, stairs, and functional strength, often within 8 to 12 weeks. Precautions vary by surgical approach. Post-Lumbar DiscectomyPost-Discectomy RehabImproving movement confidence, core endurance, and graded loading. Most return to full activity within 6 to 12 weeks with the right progression. Post-Spinal FusionPost-Lumbar / Cervical Fusion RehabProtected early rehab, then strength and mobility in adjacent segments. A long-game protocol, 6 to 12 months to return to heavier work. Post-Bunion SurgeryPost-Hallux Valgus Correction RehabSwelling control, graded weight-bearing, and big-toe range work. Footwear matters more than most patients realize. Post-Elbow ArthroscopyPost-Elbow Arthroscopy RehabImproving elbow range, forearm strength, and grip. Early, gentle loading prevents stiffness that can be hard to reverse. Post-Tendon Transfer (Hand)Post-Hand Tendon Transfer RehabLearning to use a muscle to do a new job after nerve injury or paralysis. Highly dedicated, timing and re-education are everything. Post-Flexor Tendon RepairPost-Flexor Tendon Repair RehabEarly controlled motion within protocol to prevent tendon adhesion. Missed windows cost you permanent range. Post-Extensor Tendon RepairPost-Extensor Tendon Repair RehabZone-specific splinting and motion work. What's safe in one zone may be harmful in another. Post-Carpal Tunnel ReleasePost-Carpal Tunnel Release RehabScar management, grip strength, and pillar-pain education. Most return to work within a few weeks, targeted rehab shortens the tail. Post-Trigger Finger ReleasePost-A1 Pulley Release RehabImproving full finger range and grip without re-stiffening. Usually quick, but skipping scar and tendon glide work costs weeks. Post-Fracture Rehabilitation (Upper Limb)Post-Fracture Rehab (Upper Limb)Improving range, strength, and function after wrist, hand, elbow, or shoulder fracture. Timing and protocol depend on fixation type. Post-Fracture Rehabilitation (Lower Limb)Post-Fracture Rehab (Lower Limb)Staged weight-bearing, range, and strength after hip, knee, ankle, or foot fracture. Early input protects long-term walking.

Chronic Pain & Long-Term Conditions 8

Pain that has outstayed its welcome, and needs a different approach than acute injury.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)Complex Regional Pain SyndromeSevere, disproportionate pain, often in a hand or foot, with swelling, color change, and temperature change after an injury. Early, sensitive rehab can change the trajectory. FibromyalgiaFibromyalgia SyndromeWidespread pain with fatigue and sleep disturbance, present for months or years. Managed through graded movement, pacing, and sleep, not just pain relief. Chronic Low Back PainPersistent Lumbar PainLow back pain that has lasted more than three months. Strength, confidence, and pacing shift the story, imaging often misleads. Chronic Neck PainPersistent Cervical PainNeck pain lasting more than three months, with stiffness, headaches, or widespread tension. A multi-factor problem, rehab addresses all of them. Chronic TendinopathyPersistent Tendon OverloadA tendon that has been sore for months, flaring with every ramp-up. Almost always under-loaded rather than over-loaded, counter-intuitive but consistent. Persistent Post-Surgical PainPersistent Post-Operative PainPain that continues long after a surgery has otherwise healed. Nervous-system sensitivity often plays a role, and can be retrained. Myofascial Pain SyndromeMyofascial Pain SyndromeDiffuse muscle pain with tender spots that refer pain to predictable areas. Overlaps with stress, sleep, and loading patterns. Chronic Musculoskeletal PainPersistent MSK PainMusculoskeletal pain that does not fit one clean diagnosis but has persisted for months. A broader, multi-factor rehab plan changes outcomes.

Amazing experience with Phoenix Rehab, was assisted by Mavis. She’s very kind and professional and did thorough check on my wrist. I feel very comfortable during the process.

I went in for thermoplastic splint, and everything went smoothly. She was able to address my needs on my left wrist sprain.

They were prompt with appointment process and inquiry. Also the clinic is very close to Tanjong Pagar MRT. I highly recommend!

Great treatment from my therapist. My painful wrist felt a lot of relief after the session. I’m glad I can slowly get back to doing my usual activities without constant pain.

I wasn’t able to close my fingers due to an injury. Nurul at Phoenix Rehab has helped me tremendously with my recovery process. I have been able to resume my daily activities and exercises after only a few sessions. Nurul has been very professional and positive throughout the entire process. Thank you so much for your help!

Huge shoutout to Yuna Zhang from Phoenix Rehab for helping in my recovery from golfer’s elbow 🙌

I walked in with persistent elbow pain that was affecting workouts and everyday tasks, and Yuna immediately made me feel confident I was in the right hands. She took the time to properly assess my condition, explain the root cause, and tailor a treatment plan to my specific needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.

What I really appreciated was how personalised every session felt. The exercises she gave me were practical, easy to follow, and actually worked. Within a short time, the pain reduced significantly and my strength and mobility improved much faster than I expected.

On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable and affordable, which made committing to recovery much easier.

Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring — highly recommend Yuna at Phoenix Rehab if you’re dealing with hand-related sports injuries 💪

I enjoy coming to Phoenix rehab as they offer a wide variety of services. I had a finger accident and was working with a very experienced hand therapist. Place is clean and comfortable.  Staff were friendly and appointment was on time
