Common Wrist Conditions
The wrist is prone to sprains, overuse injuries, and fractures, often caused by falls or repetitive motions. Many also experience tendon inflammation or irritation from prolonged use, such as typing, manual work, or sports.
Treatment
Physiotherapy helps reduce pain, restore mobility, and strengthen the muscles around the wrist. Treatment may include manual therapy, exercises, supportive bracing, and guidance on proper hand and forearm use.
For those with limited hand function, physiotherapy focuses on improving strength, flexibility, coordination, and restoring overall function.
Prevention
To prevent wrist pain, it’s important to strengthen the hand and forearm muscles, take breaks during repetitive work, and maintain good posture and ergonomics. Wrist supports can also help relieve strain when needed.
