From Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) to dislocated fingers, from carpal tunnel syndrome to fractures, our wrists and hands are vulnerable to injury because we use them so much and always have them at the heart of the action. The impact of a wrist or hand injury can be huge, especially if you rely on them for your work.
ASSESS
A thorough assessment of your wrist or hand issue involves examining onset and timings of your pain, contributing factors, lifestyle considerations, previous investigations or treatments and more. We don’t stop assessing you until we feel we have all of the information that we need to work out what is causing your pain.
DIAGNOSE
Your physiotherapist will be able to tell you what structures are likely to be causing your hand issue, and will explain your injury in straightforward terms that you can easily understand. We won’t bamboozle you with jargon. You will be encouraged to ask as many questions as you want. We won’t stop until your questions do!
TREAT
Your treatment will include the exercises you need to do, any modifications you may need to make to your work, lifestyle or fitness program, plus advice on aids or equipment that may help you to recover more quickly.
