Wrist Pain

Your wrist is a vital joint that is important for the simplest of daily activities such as brushing your teeth, combing your hair and even changing your clothes. But if your wrist is compromised or limited, these simple daily activities aren’t so simple anymore.

The wrist is a very fragile complex joint that is highly susceptible to injury and early stages of arthritis when it is overused or constantly put under stress such as in sports or playing the piano and typing.

With consistent stress overload on the wrist, it can acquire injuries very rapidly to its ligaments and can lead to others injury of the surrounding connective tissues. Once the ligaments are compromised, the body begins to over-compensate for the injury and can lead to fascia tightness or a muscle strain due to the change in body mechanics and the overuse of the surrounding muscles.
