One of the primary benefits of physical therapy for wrist conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and De Quervain’s syndrome is the ability to alleviate pain. Physical therapy can help to reduce pain and inflammation in the wrist by using manual therapy techniques such as mobilization and manipulation. These techniques can help to improve joint mobility and reduce pain by releasing tension in the soft tissues surrounding the hand and wrist.
Another benefit of physical therapy for wrist conditions is the ability to improve strength and flexibility. The therapist may prescribe specific exercises to improve strength and flexibility in the wrist and surrounding muscles. These exercises may include strengthening exercises for the wrist and hand muscles, as well as exercises to improve flexibility in the fingers and thumb.
Improving strength and flexibility in the wrist can help to reduce pain and improve function.
Physical therapy can also help to prevent future injury by addressing any underlying issues that may be contributing to the pain. For example, if poor posture or ergonomics is causing tension in the wrist, the therapist may work with the patient to correct their posture and teach them exercises to maintain proper alignment.
Physical therapy can also be used in combination with other treatments such as medications, splints or surgery. Physical therapy can be used both before and after surgery to prepare the patient for the procedure and to aid in the recovery process.
In addition, the therapist may provide education on proper posture, body mechanics, and activities to avoid to prevent further injury.
