Wrist pain physio Frankston
Wrist and hand care for the tasks you rely on
Wrist symptoms can interrupt typing, gripping, lifting or bearing weight through your hand. Ash will look at the movements and tasks you’re finding difficult, explain what he finds and help you work towards using your hand comfortably at home, work or exercise.
What your wrist assessment may include
Symptoms can follow a fall or sprain, repeated gripping or loading, joint or tendon irritation, or a nerve problem. Pain, tingling or weakness may also relate to the forearm, elbow, shoulder or neck.
Treatment and return to activity
Your plan may include education, temporary changes to aggravating tasks, hands-on physiotherapy, taping where appropriate, mobility work and progressive strengthening of the wrist, hand or arm. If a fracture, significant nerve problem or another condition may require medical review or imaging, Ash will explain the next step.
