Common Wrist Conditions We Treat
The wrist joint is complex and vulnerable to a range of injuries and conditions. At The Physio Box, we provide expert physiotherapy for various wrist issues, including:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Nerve compression in the wrist, leading to tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand.
Wrist Sprains and Strains: Often caused by trauma, such as falls or sports-related injuries.

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis: Pain and swelling along the thumb-side of the wrist, commonly seen in new parents and certain athletes.
Arthritis: Degenerative joint conditions, such as osteoarthritis, causing pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.
Wrist Fractures: Broken bones in the wrist, often requiring post-surgical rehabilitation.
Ganglion Cysts: Fluid-filled lumps that form along the tendons or joints of the wrist.
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI): Caused by overuse, typically due to activities like typing, gaming, or manual labor.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Recovery after surgeries, such as wrist fractures, tendon repairs, or carpal tunnel release.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Wrist Physiotherapy
Initial Assessment
We begin with a thorough assessment to identify the underlying cause of your wrist pain. This includes evaluating your range of motion, strength, and the specific movements that cause discomfort.
Pain Management
Pain relief is our priority during the initial stages of treatment. We utilize a variety of methods, including:
Manual therapy to release tension and improve joint mobility
Cold and heat therapy to manage swelling and stiffness
Ultrasound and electrotherapy for deep tissue healing
Rehabilitation Exercises
Once pain is managed, we focus on rehabilitation exercises designed to:
Restore strength and flexibility in the wrist and forearm
Improve grip strength and function for everyday activities
Increase range of motion to prevent stiffness
Biomechanical and Postural Correction
Poor wrist posture or incorrect techniques during activities can contribute to injury. We work with you to correct these habits, ensuring proper wrist alignment and movement patterns.
Sport-Specific and Functional Training
For athletes or individuals returning to physical activities, we include sport-specific rehabilitation exercises to help you regain your performance level safely. For example, tennis players may work on grip strength and range of motion to prevent overuse injuries.
Ergonomic Advice
For individuals experiencing wrist pain from repetitive movements or work-related stress, we provide guidance on ergonomics, including the proper setup for typing, gaming, or manual labor.
