Wrist Pain Physiotherapy in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh
Wrist pain assessment, treatment and rehabilitation
Wrist pain can make everyday tasks and exercise difficult. Gripping, lifting, typing, using your phone or putting weight through your hand can all become uncomfortable.
What Causes Wrist Pain?
Wrist pain can have many different causes, so getting a clear understanding of your symptoms is important. The location of the pain, how it started and what movements aggravate it can all help guide your treatment.
You might be dealing with wrist pain from:
Climbing, gripping or high-volume training
Weightlifting, pressing or exercises that load the wrist
Racquet sports and repetitive gripping
Desk work, keyboard and mouse use
Repetitive lifting or caring for a baby
A fall or previous wrist injury
Pins and needles, numbness or tingling in the hand
At Perform Health Co, we’ll assess your wrist, hand and movement, take a detailed history and explain what we find. You’ll receive a clear treatment and rehabilitation plan based on your symptoms, activity and goals.

Wrist Conditions We Treat
Wrist pain comes from tendons, nerves, ligaments, cartilage, and joints, and the treatment for each is different. A correct diagnosis is the most important thing we do in your first appointment.
Our Edinburgh clinic helps people at all stages recover from:
-
Injuries to the ligaments around the wrist, often following a fall, twist or sudden impact
-
Fluid-filled lumps around the wrist or hand that can sometimes cause pain, pressure or restricted movement.
-
Injuries to the cartilage and supporting structures on the little-finger side of the wrist, often causing pain with gripping, twisting or loading the wrist.
-
Pain and irritation around the wrist tendons, often linked to repetitive gripping, lifting, sport or increased training.
-
Pain around the thumb side of the wrist, commonly aggravated by gripping, lifting or repetitive thumb movements.
-
Numbness, tingling, pain or weakness in the hand caused by irritation or compression of the median nerve at the wrist.
-
Physiotherapy following a wrist fracture to help restore movement, strength and confidence as you return to normal activities.
