Since 2008, Minal has specialised in shoulder rehabilitation, treating a range of conditions including:

  • Shoulder pain and impingement

  • Frozen shoulder

  • Instability and rotator cuff injuries

She also treats elbow issues such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and post-injury rehab.

As a certified Hand Therapist (BAHT), Minal supports recovery from:

  • Hand and wrist fractures

  • Post-surgical rehab (e.g. carpal tunnel, tendon repairs)

  • Common conditions like arthritis, trigger finger, and tendonitis

  • Repetitive strain and overuse injuries

Her holistic approach often includes acupuncture, and she creates tailored plans to restore movement and confidence in the shoulder, elbow, and hand.
