Suffering from a Mallet Finger Injury? Are you experiencing difficulty fully extending your finger at the tip after a sudden jarring motion? It is essential to seek prompt assessment and treatment to ensure optimal outcomes.

26/07/2026

A netball injury left one of my patients from Hempstead unable to straighten her fingertip — a classic Mallet Finger injury, caused by a sudden knock to the end of the finger.
She was worried it would stay bent forever. But with the right splint, worn continuously for the right length of time, and a carefully guided exercise plan once healing allowed, her fingertip straightened out again.
Twelve weeks on, she's back on the court, full extension, no lingering droop or lag.
The key with Mallet Finger is getting the splinting right from day one — consistency really does make all the difference.

"I couldn't even grip my morning cup of tea without a sharp pain shooting up my arm. Now I'm back in my garden without pain."

When this patient first came to see me at my Hempstead clinic, thumb and wrist pain was making everyday activities difficult. Through a combination of targeted splinting, tailored exercises, and advice on managing their symptoms, we were able to reduce their pain, improve hand strength, and restore confidence in using their hand.

Helping people get back to the things they enjoy—whether that's gardening, work, hobbies, or simply everyday tasks—is one of the most rewarding parts of being a specialist Hand Therapist.

If hand or wrist pain is affecting your daily life, you don't have to struggle through it alone.

Breaking a finger is painful enough, but realising it’s healing flexed can make you concerned for the long-term recovery.

When Sophie came to see me after breaking her ring finger, she wasn't happy with the stiffness and the 45-degree bend left behind. She wanted her straight, fully functioning finger back so she could get on with daily life without adaptation or worry.

I got straight to work providing a tailored treatment plan, reassuring her, and custom-making a night splint right here in my clinic alongside targeted stretches. In just a matter of weeks, I helped improve that stubborn bend with consistent improvements tracking every single week! Seeing that physical transformation and restoring her confidence is exactly why I love what I do.

The full review:

"I came to see Alex after breaking my ring finger and not being happy with the care/advice I’d received from a fracture consultant. Alex was excellent in reassuring me that we could regain mobility and straighten the finger, and he went above and beyond in providing a treatment plan, giving exercises, stretches, making a splint for me to wear at night. From seeing Alex I’ve gone from a 45° bend in my finger to a 25° bend in a matter of weeks, and am seeing consistent improvement following his advice. It’s been so worthwhile using his services."

If you've suffered a finger fracture and your recovery has stalled, let’s get it moving properly again. Sooner rather than later is always recommended for better prognosis.

🖐️ Is it just a "tired wrist" or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? 🖐️

Numbness & Tingling: That "pins and needles" feeling in your thumb, index, and middle fingers—especially at night or while driving—is a classic sign of nerve compression in the carpal tunnel.

These symptoms ring a bell? This can easily be improved with a couple of hand therapy sessions depending on the severity of the symptoms. Don't leave it to long!

Is pain on the inside of your elbow stopping you from finishing your round or lifting at the gym? 🏌️‍♂️

While Golfer’s Elbow (medial epicondylitis) is named after the sport, I see it just as often in people in Sittingbourne and Maidstone who do repetitive lifting or DIY. It’s caused by irritation to the tendons that attach your forearm muscles to the bony bit on the inside of your elbow.

The pain often radiates down the forearm and can make your grip feel weak—making it hard to hold a club, a tool, or even a heavy shopping bag. 🛍️

The good news? It rarely needs surgery. I focus on:

->Load Management: Finding the "sweet spot" for activity.

->Targeted Strengthening: Building tendon resilience.

->Ergonomic Advice: Adjusting how you move to reduce strain.

I provide expert upper limb Physiotherapy in Medway to get you back to the activities you love, pain-free.

Stop playing through the pain. Let’s get it sorted!
