Physical Therapy for Wrist Tendinitis
Physical therapy can be highly effective in treating wrist tendinitis. Physical therapists at Twin Boro Physical Therapy will work with you to go over your goals, condition, symptoms, and medical history to devise a treatment plan that is specifically suited for you.
When you go to a physical therapist, they will develop a program with the following components:
Pain management. The first priority of your physical therapy program will be to identify painful movements of the hands and find ways to reduce movements that aggravate your condition in your daily life. To identify the causes of your pain, your physical therapist will go through your daily activities, look at your posture and wrist movements to correct any abnormal movements, and work with you to make environmental changes as needed.
Range-of-motion exercises. In addition to pain management techniques, your physical therapy program will incorporate a number of exercises to alleviate stiffness and ease your movement abilities.
Strengthening and flexibility exercises. To further improve your movement abilities, your physical therapist will incorporate therapeutic exercises to increase the stability, strength, and elasticity of the structures in your wrist and hand.
Manual therapy. Manual therapy includes techniques such as joint manipulation, gentle soft-tissue massages, and wrist stretches to help improve movement.
Patient education. At Twin Boro Physical Therapy, we want you to feel in control of your rehabilitation. Part of this is learning what each element of your physical therapy experience is and how it helps to improve your symptoms. In addition to this, learning how to perform each exercise correctly and identify when the exercise feels incorrect are important parts of patient education in your program.
Functional training: Towards the end of your rehabilitation program, you will start to perform functional movements that mimic your activities in everyday life. These may include movements such as typing, swinging a baseball bat, or playing the piano.
