Wrist Strain
What is a Wrist Sprain?
A wrist sprain is an injury to one or more of the ligaments that support the wrist joint. The wrist is made up of many small bones connected by a complex network of ligaments, which can be easily sprained. A sprain may involve a minor tear in some ligament fibres or, in more severe cases, a complete rupture. Common causes of wrist sprains include:
- Falling onto an outstretched hand
- Sudden twisting or impact during sports or physical activity
- Overuse or repetitive strain
- Forceful grabbing or lifting of heavy objects
Minor wrist sprains can often heal on their own; however, with physiotherapy intervention, recovery is typically faster and the risk of re-injury is reduced, as the wrist is rehabilitated more effectively.
How can Physiotherapists Treat a Wrist Sprain?
With the experience and knowledge of the physiotherapists at Ace Physio & Sports, they will conduct a comprehensive assessment to provide an accurate diagnosis. Following this, they will work with you to rehabilitate your injury using a variety of treatment modalities aimed at achieving your recovery goals. Some of the interventions that may be used during physiotherapy sessions for a wrist sprain include:
- Ice therapy
- Electrotherapy
- Stretching exercises
- Strengthening exercises
- Joint mobilisations
- Range of movement exercises
- Massage / frictions
- Bracing / taping
These physiotherapeutic interventions will be applied at various stages of the healing process and may be used in combination to optimise recovery. Your experienced physiotherapist will also develop a comprehensive exercise programme tailored to your individual needs and stage of rehabilitation.
