Conditions

The Shoulder, Elbow, Hand and Wrist, and Knee are specialised areas of orthopaedic care. Diagnosis, conservative treatment, physiotherapy, and surgical techniques—including arthroscopy and joint replacement—are aimed at relieving pain, restoring function, and helping patients return to their daily activities.

Our multidisciplinary team also focuses on prevention and strengthening through targeted exercises, rehabilitation techniques, and structured recovery programmes.

Conditions affecting the shoulder, knee, elbow, hand, and wrist—including fractures, tendinopathies, and other sports-related injuries—commonly present with pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.

Early diagnosis and appropriate rehabilitation are essential to prevent further deterioration and support a faster, safer return to everyday activities.
