Upper limb specialist interest
Shoulder, hand and wrist injuries are the core specialist interest at this clinic. Sailing, paddleboarding, padel and tennis all generate exactly these presentations.
Objective testing for complex injuries
VALD strength testing measures asymmetry and weakness with precision, which is particularly valuable for watersports athletes where bilateral shoulder balance is critical.
Harbour, racket, road.
Sailors and watersports athletes
Sailing, kitesurfing and paddleboarding all load the upper limb hard. Sailing shoulder, kitesurfing wrist and paddleboard upper limb injuries are regular presentations here, treated with a specialist interest in that area.
Padel players
Padel is growing faster in Poole than almost anywhere in the region. Lateral elbow tendinopathy, shoulder irritation and wrist overload from padel sit directly within a specialist interest area. If your game is being affected by an upper limb injury, this is the right place to start.
Tennis players and golfers
Two sports with significant upper limb load. Rotator cuff presentations, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow and wrist injuries, all assessed with objective data and treated with structured, sport-specific rehab.
Runners and gym athletes
Poole’s running community and growing CrossFit and Hyrox scene produce a wide range of presentations. Lower limb injuries from running, shoulder and wrist from gym training, full scope of sports injury rehab available.
Shoulder, hand and wrist
This is the page where the upper limb specialism really matters. Poole’s sports profile is dominated by activities that load the shoulder, hand and wrist, sailing, paddleboarding, kitesurfing, padel and tennis. The clinic’s specialist interest in upper limb injuries is the main reason most Poole patients book in. Bilateral shoulder assessment, sport-specific load analysis and objective return-to-sport benchmarks, all built around exactly the presentations Poole’s sports community generates day in, day out.
Bilateral balance, made measurable
For Poole’s watersports athletes, bilateral shoulder symmetry is critical and almost impossible to assess properly without measurement. Sailors and paddleboarders in particular accumulate one-sided load over thousands of hours, and the differences only show up when you put a number on them. VALD strength testing makes those asymmetries visible, then trackable through rehab, so when you return to the water you are going back balanced.
“One-sided sport is fine, until one side is doing all the work and the other has gone quiet.”
