Tennis elbow is one of the most misunderstood conditions we treat at BOOST PHYSIO. Most people rest it, brace it, or push through hoping it settles. But here's what the evidence tells us 👇 Tendons need load to heal. The right loading, at the right time, is one of the most powerful tools in rehabilitation. Exercise 1 — Isometric Wrist Extension Hold Muscle contracting. Joint not moving. We start here because isometric loading reduces tendon pain while rebuilding strength — even in the early irritable stages. 🔹 Hold 5-10 seconds 🔹 Repeat 5-10 times 🔹 Effort not pain Exercise 2 — Eccentric Wrist Extensor Loading The most evidence-backed approach for tendon rehab. Use your good hand to lift, then slowly lower with the injured side. The lowering phase is where the healing happens. 🔹 3–4 seconds on the way down 🔹 3 sets of 10–15 reps 🔹 Progress weight gradually These exercises are a starting point to help tennis elbow- not a complete programme. If elbow pain is affecting your work, sport, or daily life, our physios would love to help you.

Tennis Elbow Physio Rehab Exercises That Help
If you're dealing with shoulder pain, a rotator cuff injury, or you've been told your shoulder stability is poor- this one's for you. This is the Banded Y (demo by Danielle from our Swiss Cottage physio clinic) and it's one of our go-to exercises for shoulder rehabilitation at BOOST PHYSIO. Here's why we use it 👇 Your rotator cuff is a group of muscles that work together to control and stabilise your shoulder joint. When any of these muscles are weak, overloaded, or injured, everyday movements- reaching overhead, lifting, even sleeping- can become painful and restricted. The Banded Y targets the rotator cuff, lower trapezius and serratus anterior, muscles that are frequently underactive in people with shoulder pain, impingement. Strengthening these muscles helps restore proper shoulder blade control, which is essential for a full and lasting recovery. What you should feel: A controlled burn between and below your shoulder blades — not pain, not pinching, and not tension through your neck. A few things to get right 💡 🔹 Keep your core gently engaged 🔹 Move slowly and with control — this isn't about speed 🔹 Maintain light contact with the wall throughout 🔹 Stop if you feel any sharp or pinching pain Like all rehabilitation exercises, the key is getting the right exercise, at the right intensity, at the right stage of your recovery. If you're struggling with shoulder pain and you're not sure what's causing it or where to start- our expert physiotherapists can assess your movement, identify what's driving your pain and build a plan that gets you back to full strength. 💪 Expert same-day private physiotherapy near you at one of BOOST PHYSIO's clinics across London & Hertfordshire. 📍 👉 Book your shoulder assessment today https://boostphysio.com/physio-for-shoulder-pain/ #shorts
Why physios love this exercise for shoulder injury rehab and recovery?
Not all exercise is created equal — especially when you're recovering from pain or injury. At BOOST PHYSIO, we build every recovery plan a principle called FITT. It's the framework our physiotherapists use to make sure your recovery is progressing at exactly the right pace. Here's what it stands for: 🔹 Frequency — how often you should be exercising or moving 🔹 Intensity — how hard each session should feel right now 🔹 Time — how long your sessions or exercises should last 🔹 Type — which specific movements are right for your body and your stage of recovery Without this structure, it's easy to do too much too soon- and set yourself back. Or too little- and wonder why nothing is improving. Abbi, one of our physios in Mill Hill and Borehamwood clinics, explains how you can use the FITT principle for your recovery. This is what separates a personalised physiotherapy plan from a generic list of exercises you found online. If you're currently dealing with pain or recovering from injury and you're not sure where to start — or why your recovery feels stuck — this is exactly what an assessment with one of our clinicians can solve.

Concerns About Your Body After Having Your Baby？ How MUMMY MOT and post-natal physio can help
Sciatica pain can be relentless. When the sciatic nerve is irritated, people often experience: ⚠️ Sharp, shooting pain down the buttock or leg ⚠️ Tingling, pins and needles, or numbness ⚠️ Pain when sitting, driving, or standing up ⚠️ Reduced confidence with bending, walking, or exercise ⚠️ Disrupted sleep and ongoing flare-ups that don’t fully settle Why this matters: if movement patterns stay guarded and stiff, nerve irritation can persist- even after the initial trigger has eased. In this reel, Setareh from BOOST PHYSIO Swiss Cottage NW3 demonstrates 3 simple movements that may help reduce sciatic symptoms and restore confidence with movement. If pain keeps returning, or symptoms are travelling further down the leg, targeted assessment and guidance are key.
