PHYSIOTHERAPY CONDITIONS – ELBOW AND WRIST PAIN  

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

  • Overuse of wrist extensors causes outer elbow pain, often treated with expert Physiotherapy support.

  • Pain worsens with gripping or lifting, but targeted Physiotherapy exercises ease symptoms.

  • Manual therapy and strengthening are key parts of effective Physiotherapy recovery plans.

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

  • Pain on the inner elbow is caused by repeated wrist flexion, addressed with focused Physiotherapy care.

  • Activities like lifting or throwing increase symptoms, needing guided Physiotherapy intervention.

  • Gradual stretching and eccentric loading improve function under structured Physiotherapy programs.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Nerve compression in the wrist causes numbness and pain, often improved with skilled Physiotherapy management.

  • Ergonomic adjustments and nerve gliding are part of professional Physiotherapy treatment.

  • Swelling and stiffness are managed with manual and modality-based Physiotherapy care.

Wrist Tendinitis (De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis)

  • Thumb-side wrist pain from overuse is commonly seen in new mothers and treated via gentle Physiotherapy routines.

  • Irritated tendons heal faster with rest, splinting, and gradual Physiotherapy strengthening.

  • Pain-free thumb and wrist movement returns with guided Physiotherapy recovery plans.

Ulnar Nerve Entrapment

  • Tingling or weakness in the ring and little fingers may indicate nerve issues needing expert Physiotherapy care.

  • Postural corrections and nerve release techniques are taught during progressive Physiotherapy sessions.

  • Grip strength and function are improved under professional Physiotherapy supervision.

Wrist Sprain or Ligament Injury

  • Falls or sports injuries may cause ligament tears requiring pain-free movement via therapeutic Physiotherapy guidance.

  • Restoring mobility and preventing stiffness is possible with early-stage Physiotherapy care.

  • Gradual loading and splint removal is timed under experienced Physiotherapy observation.

Elbow Bursitis (Olecranon Bursitis)

  • Inflammation of the elbow’s bursa causes swelling, treated gently with rest and monitored Physiotherapy.

  • Manual drainage techniques and TENS are effective components of tailored Physiotherapy care.

  • Return to full motion is supported by activity modification and consistent Physiotherapy routines.

Arthritis of the Wrist or Elbow

  • Degenerative joint changes cause pain and stiffness, managed by personalized Physiotherapy interventions.

  • Joint mobilization, strengthening, and assistive device education are part of clinical Physiotherapy strategies.

  • Daily activities become easier with pain control and movement re-education using structured Physiotherapy plans.

TFCC Injury (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex)

  • Injuries to the wrist cartilage cause pain on the ulnar side, needing specialized Physiotherapy rehab.

  • Splinting and motion control training are included in advanced Physiotherapy programs.

  • Pain reduces as the ligament stabilizes under proper load via skilled Physiotherapy application.

Post-Fracture Stiffness (Elbow/Wrist)

  • After cast removal, stiffness and pain are eased using safe and progressive Physiotherapy exercises.

  • Mobilization and functional restoration are core parts of every fracture-based Physiotherapy plan.

  • Regaining strength and coordination ensures full recovery through continuous Physiotherapy involvement.

PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENTS ELBOW AND WRIST PAIN

Strengthening and Resistance Training

  • Targeted wrist and forearm exercises build endurance with focused Physiotherapy support.

  • Grip strength, tendon load tolerance, and wrist balance are restored via structured Physiotherapy care.

  • Progressive resistance helps prevent re-injury and is a key Physiotherapy intervention.

Soft Tissue Mobilization

  • Manual release techniques ease muscle tightness and improve mobility using clinical Physiotherapy methods.

  • Trigger point release and massage reduce inflammation in expert Physiotherapy sessions.

  • Improved circulation and relaxation support healing with regular Physiotherapy visits.

Joint Mobilization and Manipulation

  • Restricted elbow and wrist joints are gently moved to reduce pain using specialized Physiotherapy methods.

  • Increased range of motion is achieved under manual techniques performed during Physiotherapy care.

  • Joint gliding helps regain functional movement guided by skilled Physiotherapy therapists.

Ultrasound Therapy and TENS

  • Pain and swelling are managed through modalities during structured Physiotherapy treatments.

  • Ultrasound increases tissue healing while TENS reduces nerve irritation within routine Physiotherapy care.

  • These modalities are especially useful for chronic tendon injuries treated by Physiotherapy teams.

Kinesiology Taping

  • Supportive taping reduces stress on tendons and is applied as part of skilled Physiotherapy protocols.

  • Taping allows healing while maintaining motion, monitored through consistent Physiotherapy sessions.

  • It’s useful for athletes and workers with repetitive strain, included in modern Physiotherapy care.

Ergonomic Correction and Advice

  • Workplace and lifestyle modifications are addressed during personalized Physiotherapy consultations.

  • Keyboard height, mouse grip, and wrist posture are evaluated as part of advanced Physiotherapy education.

  • Preventive strategies are built into home programs through ongoing Physiotherapy guidance.

Splinting and Support Devices

  • Custom splints reduce strain on healing tissues, fitted by trained Physiotherapy professionals.

  • Splints maintain correct positioning during early recovery under continuous Physiotherapy monitoring.

  • Gradual weaning from support devices is managed through your personalized Physiotherapy plan.

Stretching and Nerve Gliding

  • Gentle wrist and elbow stretches maintain flexibility as part of daily Physiotherapy routines.

  • Nerve gliding helps in conditions like CTS or ulnar entrapment under guided Physiotherapy sessions.

  • Stretching improves mobility and circulation, key for all Physiotherapy recovery protocols.

Functional Re-training

  • Tasks like lifting, gripping, and writing are practiced under a functional-focused Physiotherapy approach.

  • Gradual return to work or daily activity is achieved through real-life tasks in Physiotherapy rehab.

  • Repetitive movement patterns are corrected with care in supervised Physiotherapy programs.

Education and Self-Management Advice

  • Pain education and awareness of triggers are shared in every tailored Physiotherapy session.

  • Patients learn self-care tools, wrist safety, and progress tracking through personalized Physiotherapy guidance.

  • A holistic and empowering recovery is possible with patient involvement in their Physiotherapy journey.
