The wrist joint is a complex structure made up of eight carpal bones, the distal ends of the radius and ulna, and the ligaments that hold these bones together. It allows for a wide range of movements, including flexion, extension, radial deviation, ulnar deviation, and circumduction. The wrist's intricate anatomy and high mobility make it susceptible to injuries such as sprains, fractures, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Faulty play techniques, repetitive stress, and insufficient stretching can lead to significant wrist pain and dysfunction. Overuse injuries, like tendinitis, occur when the tendons become inflamed due to repetitive motions such as typing, playing racquet sports, or lifting weights without proper form. Carpal tunnel syndrome, caused by compression of the median nerve, can result from prolonged wrist flexion or poor ergonomics.

At Physio2fitness, we offer a variety of manual therapy techniques to address wrist injuries. Cyriax's deep friction massage targets specific tissue lesions, aiding in scar tissue management and reducing inflammation. Maitland's mobilizations improve joint mobility and decrease pain, while the Mulligan Technique uses mobilizations with movement to correct misalignments. Myofascial release assists in releasing fascial restrictions and improving tissue health. These comprehensive treatments ensure our patients regain optimal wrist function and return to their daily activities and hobbies.
