Medication is injected directly into the joint or surrounding soft tissues by our trained physiotherapists to ease discomfort and restore mobility. The injection is often combined with a local anaesthetic for immediate relief, and treatment is always tailored to your specific condition.

Common Areas Treated with Injections
Our clinicians are experienced in administering injections to treat pain and inflammation throughout the body, targeting the specific joint or tissue causing your symptoms.
Corticosteroid injections are highly effective for knee osteoarthritis, bursitis, and inflammatory joint conditions causing chronic knee pain and stiffness.
Targeted injections provide rapid relief for tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and olecranon bursitis — conditions that are often resistant to other conservative treatments.
Injections into the shoulder joint or subacromial space effectively reduce pain from rotator cuff tendinitis, frozen shoulder, and shoulder impingement syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome, de Quervain's tenosynovitis, and wrist joint arthritis respond well to precisely administered corticosteroid injections.
Hip joint injections are used to treat osteoarthritis, trochanteric bursitis, and hip impingement, relieving deep groin or hip pain and improving walking ability.
Ankle joint arthritis, peroneal tendinopathy, and Achilles tendon bursitis can be treated with injections to reduce pain and swelling, improving stability and movement.
How Injection Therapy Works
Our injections are administered safely and precisely by trained clinicians, combining immediate relief with a comprehensive rehabilitation plan for long-term recovery.
01
A trained physiotherapist administers corticosteroid medication — such as triamcinolone or methylprednisolone — directly into the joint or nearby soft tissue. A local anaesthetic is often combined for immediate pain relief.
02
Most patients feel improvement within 24 to 72 hours. Relief can last several weeks to months. Effectiveness varies based on the condition and the specific joint treated.
03
Light activity can usually resume within a day. Avoid strenuous or high-impact activities for 7–10 days post-injection. Temporary soreness or a mild pain flare is possible but usually short-lived.
04
Injections are most effective as part of a broader treatment plan. We combine them with targeted physiotherapy exercises and lifestyle advice to maximise recovery and prevent recurrence.
Our Approach to Injection Therapy
We take a thorough, patient-centred approach to ensure injections are appropriate, safe, and part of a wider recovery plan tailored to you.
01
A trained physiotherapist administers corticosteroid medication — such as triamcinolone or methylprednisolone — directly into the joint or nearby soft tissue. A local anaesthetic is often combined for immediate pain relief.
02
Our clinicians are fully trained to administer corticosteroid injections safely. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is performed in a clean, clinical environment with sterile technique to minimise risk.
03
Following the injection, we design a structured physiotherapy programme to build strength, improve movement, and address the underlying cause of your pain — so results are lasting, not just temporary.
04
We monitor your progress closely and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Repeated injections are spaced appropriately to protect joint health, and we advise on long-term management strategies.
