Treatment
Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Joints & Soft Tissues
Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are commonly used to relieve joint pain and improve soft tissue healing by providing lubrication, cushioning, and hydration.
Joint Injections (Viscosupplementation)
Used to treat osteoarthritis (OA), especially in the knee, hip, and shoulder.
How It Works
HA mimics the natural synovial fluid in joints, improving lubrication and reducing friction.

What Our Clients Say – Real Stories, Real Results
Ann Mclean
Fantastic customer service. Sundar has really helped with my shoulder/leg issues. Highly recommend. The shock wave therapy has helped with the healing process tremendously.
James
My shoulder pain stopped me from playing sports. Now, I’m stronger than ever, thanks to their care!
Angela
I have suffered with golfers elbow for around 2 years. Lots of exercises, injection nothing seemed to relieve the pain. Until I attended a course of treatment from Magic hands physiotherapy. I would recommend Sundar to anyone. He is very empathetic and this really has made a difference to my daily life. I've got one treatment to go but it's 85% better than it was. I'm hoping for even more by the time the last one is done.
Loo Marie
After receiving treatment from Sundar at Magichands Physiotherapy, I am over the moon with the results. After suffering from severe foot pain from Plantar Fasciitis, the shockwave treatment has helped so much with the discomfort and pain. Would highly recommend.
