Treatment at iPersonal Physiotherapy
Wrist pain can affect everyday tasks such as typing, lifting, gripping, driving, or playing sport. Because the wrist is involved in almost every hand movement, even mild discomfort can significantly interfere with work and daily life.
At iPersonal Physiotherapy, we provide expert assessment and personalised treatment for wrist pain. Our goal is to reduce discomfort, restore strength and mobility, and help you return to normal activity safely and confidently.
What Is Wrist Pain?
Wrist pain refers to discomfort in or around the wrist joint, which connects the forearm to the hand. The wrist is made up of multiple small bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves that work together to allow complex movement.
Pain may be felt:
On the front or back of the wrist
On the thumb side
On the little finger side
Radiating into the hand or forearm
Common Symptoms
You may experience:
Pain when gripping or lifting
Weakness in the hand
Swelling or tenderness
Clicking or catching sensations
Reduced range of motion
Tingling or numbness in the fingers
Common Causes of Wrist Pain
Wrist pain can develop for several reasons, including:
Repetitive Strain
Overuse from typing, manual work, or sports.
Tendinopathy
Irritation or overload of wrist tendons.
Sprains and Ligament Injury
Stretching or tearing of ligaments following a fall or sudden movement.
Nerve Compression
Pressure on nerves passing through the wrist, such as in carpal tunnel syndrome.
Arthritis
Degenerative changes within the wrist joint.
Post-Fracture Stiffness
Reduced mobility following previous injury.
