Wrist Fracture

What is a wrist fracture?

A wrist fracture refers to a break in one or more of the bones that form the wrist joint. This typically involves the distal radius and ulna, or the proximal row of carpal bones. Wrist fractures are usually immobilised for a period of time to allow the bone to heal properly. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation process, helping to restore movement, strength, and function. At acephysiosports.com, our qualified physiotherapists specialise in orthopaedic rehabilitation and are experienced in guiding patients through recovery following a wrist fracture.

Physiotherapy for Wrist fractures

Physiotherapy for wrist fractures offers numerous benefits. Physiotherapists can provide a range of treatments designed to optimise the healing process, reduce pain, and restore normal wrist function. Some common physiotherapy treatments for wrist fractures include:

  • Joint mobilisation to improve movement and reduce stiffness
  • Strengthening exercises to rebuild muscle and support the wrist
  • Stretching routines to regain flexibility
  • Swelling management using techniques like elevation and compression
  • Manual therapy to aid mobility and comfort
  • Education and advice on safe return to daily activities or sport

These treatments will be determined following an initial assessment. During this assessment, the physiotherapist will conduct a thorough evaluation, provide a diagnosis, discuss your personal goals for recovery, and develop a tailored rehabilitation programme to help you achieve them.
