Upper Body
Physical therapy for wrist or hand pain that affects gripping, typing, lifting, work, hobbies, or sport.
A useful first step
We rely on our hands for nearly every part of the day, so wrist and hand symptoms can quickly become disruptive. Care begins by identifying the movements, loads, and positions connected to your symptoms.
Physical therapy does not start with a generic exercise sheet. It starts with your history, a focused examination, and a clear discussion about what you want to do more comfortably or confidently.

A focused evaluation
How physical therapy may help
Your treatment plan may combine education, movement, progressive exercise, and hands-on care. What is included depends on the examination and how you respond.
This page is general education, not a diagnosis or an individual treatment plan. Physical therapy is not emergency care. Call 911 or seek urgent medical help for emergency symptoms.
A physical therapist can evaluate many movement-related concerns without imaging first. If the history or examination suggests you need another medical evaluation, your therapist should explain that and help you choose the appropriate next step.
Timelines depend on the cause, severity, duration, health history, goals, and response to care. After your evaluation, your therapist can outline early milestones and update the plan as your function changes.
Write down when your symptoms began, which activities change them, and what you hope to return to. Wear clothing that allows comfortable movement and bring relevant insurance, referral, imaging, or surgical information.
