What is Wrist Physical Therapy?

Wrist physical therapy utilizes specific stretches and exercises that will target your wrist and surrounding muscles and tendons. If you have a wrist injury and do not get it taken care of by a physical therapist, your body will often end up compensating for the injury causing further issues. By using the Evolve method for wrist physical therapy, our physical therapists will focus on the following: restoring alignment, functionality and mobility, and flexibility. Your wrist PT will also show you special stretches and exercises to continue to use at home. While there is no set cure for wrist pain, wrist physical therapy has been proven time and again to greatly reduce pain while improving flexibility, functionality, and mobility.
