Hi, my name's Lee Perkins. I'm a physical therapist and founder of HandsOnRemedy.com.
Today I'm going to talk about Wrist Sprains and why you should consider physical therapy
as your first option in the healing process. Wrist Sprains occur when a fall or other injury
forces your wrist to move out of its normal range of motion. This causes considerable
stress and inflammation to the ligaments that surround the wrist, making it really difficult
to functionally use your hand. Wrist Sprains can be very painful making it challenging
to perform even the most basic activities during your day; like getting dressed in the
morning, opening a door or twisting the lid off a jar.
With early Physical Therapy treatment, you can maximize your function quickly and cost
effectively. On the first visit, your Physical Therapist will perform differential diagnostic
testing to determine your exact condition. You should then expect a hands-on treatment
incorporating specialized techniques to help get the results you need. Your therapist will
also provide a home exercise program specific to your injury and the training to perform
those exercises correctly. Our goal as therapists is the same as yours; heal quickly and heal
permanently. The information you see on our website and this video should NOT be used
to determine your own condition. You should seek medical advice from a qualified professional
first. Find your Physical Therapist now at HandsOnRemedy.com, and best wishes for a speedy
recovery.
