Elbow, Wrist & Hand Problems Heerenveen
Problems with your elbow, wrist, or hand can significantly impact your daily life. From tennis elbow and golfer's elbow to carpal tunnel syndrome: at Groen's Fitness Forge I treat these issues with a combination of hands-on therapy and targeted exercises.
Complaints
Do you recognize these symptoms?
Tennis elbow
Pain on the outside of your elbow, worse when gripping, lifting, or twisting. Not just in tennis players.Carpal tunnel
Tingling or numbness in your fingers, especially at night. Weakness when gripping.Wrist pain
Pain when bending, extending, or loading your wrist. Often due to overuse or after a fall.
Approach
My approach to arm and hand problems
Arm and hand problems are often related to overuse or improper use. I look not only at the painful area but also at your neck, shoulder, and posture. Treatment consists of soft tissue techniques, mobilization, and an adapted exercise program. For work-related issues, we also look at your workplace.
“Arm and hand problems are often the result of repeated loading. By addressing the cause and making the tissue resilient again, we achieve lasting results. A combined approach of treatment and training works best.”

Frequently asked questions about arm and hand problems
Tennis elbow can be stubborn. On average, recovery takes 3-6 months, sometimes longer. Patience and consistent exercise therapy are important.
Not always. We look for ways to reduce the load while staying active. Complete rest is often not the best solution.
A brace can provide temporary relief but doesn't solve the cause. I advise on its usefulness in your specific situation.
