Physiotherapy can help with many hand and wrist problems, including sprains, overuse injuries, tendon pain, stiffness and pain affecting work, sport or daily activities.
Are you struggling with Wrist & Hand Pain?
Hand and wrist pain can be surprisingly limiting. It can affect typing, gripping, lifting, driving, writing, sport, gym training and everyday tasks at home or work.
At LMC Physio & Fitness in Rugby, we provide expert assessment and treatment to help reduce pain, restore movement and improve strength
What is Wrist & Hand Pain?
Hand and wrist pain can affect the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves of the wrist, hand, fingers and thumb. Symptoms may develop after a fall, twist or direct injury, or they may build gradually due to repetitive use, sport, work demands or changes in activity.
Because the hand and wrist are involved in so many daily movements, even mild pain can become very frustrating. A physiotherapy assessment can help identify what is contributing to your pain and what you can do to settle symptoms and build confidence again.
