Managing Repetitive Strain and Carpal Tunnel

Wrist pain from repetitive strain, including carpal tunnel syndrome, can make everyday tasks like typing or gripping difficult. Treatment focuses on reducing nerve and tendon irritation through manual therapy, activity modification, and targeted exercise to rebuild strength without aggravating symptoms.

Recovering from Injury and Surgery

For patients recovering from hand fractures, tendon repair, or other wrist injuries, treatment is centered on safely restoring range of motion and rebuilding strength as healing progresses, with the plan of care adjusted at each stage of recovery.

Getting Back to Work and Play

Because the wrist is essential to both work and recreational activities, treatment plans are built around each patient’s specific demands – from desk work to sports like golf and tennis – with a focus on restoring grip strength, flexibility, and pain-free function.

Your Physical Therapy Appointment

What to Expect at Your First Visit

A licensed physical therapist will complete a one-on-one evaluation, including a subjective interview and an objective movement exam, to understand the source of your wrist pain. From there, a personalized plan of care is developed, with most patients attending two to three visits per week over a four-to-six-week course of treatment, with progress reassessed along the way.
