I came to One Body LDN with a herniated disc causing severe lower back and leg pain… Thanks to Elena, my pain has completely disappeared. The insurance process was smooth and stress-free.

I’ve used One Body LDN for knee pain and lower back pain. The treatment plans were clear, effective and tailored to my needs, with excellent improvement in my pain and mobility.

After a significant back injury, I wasn’t sure I’d ever return to the gym… Pooja tailored every exercise to my goals. Within months I was back at the gym doing most of the things I wanted to do.

From the first session, he was genuinely interested in understanding what was causing my shoulder pain and explained everything clearly. My shoulder recovered 100%. I’ll be going back without hesitation.

Hand Problems We Treat

Our physiotherapists assess and manage a range of hand, finger and thumb problems, from recent injuries to tendon-related symptoms, stiffness and rehabilitation following immobilisation or surgery. We commonly help with:

Finger & thumb sprains
De Quervain's tenosynovitis & thumb-side wrist pain
Tendon-related hand & finger pain
Trigger finger symptoms — with onward medical referral where required
Hand and finger joint stiffness & arthritis
Rehabilitation following metacarpal or finger fractures — once medically appropriate
Reduced movement or strength following immobilisation
Post-operative hand rehabilitation — where physiotherapy is appropriate to the procedure

Treatment is based on your individual assessment, symptoms and goals. Assessment may consider finger and thumb movement, grip strength, swelling, tendon function, dexterity and the tasks that currently aggravate or limit your hand.

Depending on your assessment, rehabilitation may include progressive strengthening, mobility exercises, graded use of the hand, activity modification and advice on returning to work, training or sport.

Whether your goal is to type comfortably, grip and lift normally, return to the gym, play an instrument or resume sport, rehabilitation is progressed according to your current function and stage of recovery.

Why choose One Body LDN for hand pain treatment in London?

HCPC-registered, degree-qualified physiotherapists

Across our London clinic group, One Body LDN has a clinical team of 55+ HCPC-registered physiotherapists.

All physiotherapy appointments are delivered by HCPC-registered physiotherapists who are members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP). Physiotherapist is a legally protected professional title in the UK, and HCPC registrants must meet professional standards for safe and effective practice.

Our team includes clinicians with experience across NHS, private healthcare and elite sport. Every One Body LDN physiotherapist completes structured clinical onboarding and ongoing clinical audit to help maintain consistent standards of assessment, treatment planning, rehabilitation and patient care.

Our clinicians assess musculoskeletal symptoms, movement and function, screen for red flags and recommend an appropriate treatment and rehabilitation plan. Care is informed by current clinical evidence and relevant NICE guidance, with referral or coordination with GPs, GMC-registered medical consultants and other healthcare professionals where appropriate.

All One Body LDN physiotherapists are DBS checked.

Thousands of patient reviews + an NPS of +79

One Body LDN has thousands of patient reviews across Google and Trustpilot and is rated Excellent on Trustpilot.

Based on a structured analysis of 4,859 valid client survey responses, One Body LDN recorded a Net Promoter Score of +79.

Within the same dataset, nearly 1 in 4 respondents (24.8%) said they first discovered One Body LDN through a recommendation from a friend, family member or colleague. Recurring patient-feedback themes included feeling listened to, receiving clear explanations and understanding their treatment plan.

Survey findings reflect patient-reported experiences and are not measures of clinical effectiveness. Individual experiences and outcomes vary.

Hands-on musculoskeletal treatment + progressive rehabilitation

Our physiotherapists combine hands-on musculoskeletal treatment with progressive exercise rehabilitation, based on your assessment and goals. Where clinically appropriate, treatment may include soft-tissue techniques and joint mobilisation alongside exercise, strength-based rehabilitation and a progressive return to activity.

Based on a structured analysis of 4,859 valid client survey responses, hands-on treatment, self-reported physical progress and structured aftercare were recurring themes in patient feedback.

This combined approach is consistent with condition-specific clinical guidance. For example, NICE advises that manual therapy for low back pain and sciatica should be considered as part of a treatment package that includes exercise, rather than as a standalone treatment.

Your rehabilitation plan is built around your symptoms, movement goals and lifestyle, with clear exercises and next steps between appointments.

Personalised exercise programmes can also be delivered digitally through Physitrack, giving you clear exercise and rehabilitation guidance between appointments.

Clear pricing and treatment plans — no pressure to overbook

You can see your pricing before you book. Your physiotherapist will explain what they think is causing your problem, what they recommend next and why.

Based on a structured analysis of 4,859 valid client survey responses, more than 1 in 5 respondents (21.1%) cited transparent pricing as a factor that gave them confidence when booking. Clear treatment planning was also a recurring theme in patient feedback.

If ongoing physiotherapy is not clinically appropriate or you do not need further sessions, we’ll tell you.

Hand pain physiotherapy London - FAQs

Does physiotherapy for hand pain actually work?

Physiotherapy can help with many muscle, joint and nerve problems, including back pain, sciatica, joint pain, stiffness and rehabilitation after injury or surgery. The NHS describes physiotherapy as treatment that can ease pain and improve movement, using approaches including exercise and hands-on techniques.

Treatment depends on the problem. For example, NICE guidance for low back pain and sciatica recommends exercise-based management and says manual therapy can be considered as part of a treatment package that includes exercise.

At One Body LDN, an HCPC-registered physiotherapist assesses you first. If physiotherapy is appropriate, we’ll explain what we think is driving your symptoms and combine hands-on treatment where appropriate with tailored rehabilitation and a clear plan.

If physiotherapy isn’t right for you or further medical investigation is needed, we’ll tell you and advise you on the appropriate next step.

How many physiotherapy sessions will I need for hand pain?

There is no fixed number — it depends on your problem, how long you’ve had it, your goals and how you respond to treatment.

Some people may only need a small number of appointments, while longer-standing injuries or post-surgery rehabilitation can require a longer programme.

After your assessment, your physiotherapist will explain what they recommend and why, and your progress will be reviewed as treatment continues.

If you don’t need further physiotherapy, we’ll tell you.

How much does hand physiotherapy cost in London?

New clients can start with one of our new-client offers, including a free physiotherapy assessment or a discounted full treatment session.

If further treatment is recommended, you can book your next appointment with your therapist in clinic to access lower follow-up rates.

There is no multi-session commitment — you pay for each appointment individually. Private health insurance can also be used where your policy provides cover, and all applicable costs are shown before your booking is confirmed.

What happens in a hand pain physio session? Will it hurt? Is it safe?

Your first appointment starts with an assessment of your symptoms, medical history and goals, followed by relevant tests of movement, strength, mobility and function.

Your physiotherapist will explain what they think is causing or contributing to the problem and discuss the treatment options with you.

Where clinically appropriate, your session may include hands-on treatment such as soft-tissue techniques and joint mobilisation, alongside targeted exercise rehabilitation and advice.

Physiotherapy should not be needlessly painful. Some techniques or exercises can feel firm or temporarily uncomfortable, but treatment should be explained, consented to and adjusted to your comfort and response.

Does my BUPA, AXA or Vitality insurance cover hand pain treatment?

Yes. One Body LDN works with major private health insurers including AXA Health, Bupa, Cigna Healthcare, WPA, Vitality, Aviva, Allianz, Aetna and Healix, alongside selected international plans.

We also support eligible health cash plans, including Medicash, Simplyhealth, Health Shield and Westfield Health, where you may be able to claim back eligible physiotherapy costs depending on your plan.

Our step-by-step insurance portal explains what information you need, including policy details and authorisation codes, and lets you submit everything digitally.

You can book online first and then submit your insurance details via the portal.

How quickly can I book hand pain treatment in London?

Most patients can book a physiotherapy appointment for their hand pain quickly, with same-day and same-week appointments often available.

Booking online takes under 60 seconds, making it easy to find a time that works around your day.

Do I need a GP referral for hand pain physiotherapy?

No — in most cases, you can book directly without a GP referral. This is called direct access physiotherapy, and it means you can be seen the same week, without waiting for a GP appointment first. If you are using health insurance, some policies require a referral — we’ll guide you through this when you book.
