What causes wrist pain?

Wrist pain is a common condition that can build up over time or come on suddenly, often due to repetitive movements, poor ergonomics, injury, or underlying issues like arthritis or tendonitis.

To make things clearer, we’ve broken it down into key areas:

    • Aching or sharp pain with movement

    • Stiffness or reduced flexibility

    • Swelling or soreness around the joint

    • Clicking, popping, or a grinding sensation

  • Wrist pain can stem from many sources, from sudden injuries to everyday habits that strain the joint. Some of the most common causes include:

    • Poor technique during workouts

    • Sports-related trauma

    • Repetitive strain or overuse

    • Improper wrist positioning at work

    • Sudden spikes in activity

    • Age-related joint degeneration

    • Underlying conditions (e.g. arthritis or tendonitis)

  • We treat a wide range of wrist issues—from mild, everyday discomfort to complex or long-term injuries. Common conditions we help with include:

    • Wrist sprains – overstretched ligaments causing pain, swelling, and reduced function

    • Carpal tunnel syndrome – pressure on the median nerve leading to tingling, numbness, or weakness

    • Wrist tendonitis – inflammation from repetitive motion or overuse

    • Ganglion cysts – fluid-filled lumps that may cause pain or restrict movemen

    • De Quervain’s tenosynovitis – irritation of tendons at the base of the thumb

    • Fractures – breaks or cracks in the wrist bones from impact or falls

    • Arthritis – degeneration from osteoarthritis or autoimmune causes affecting joint movement

    Whether your wrist pain is recent, chronic, or interfering with daily activities, our experienced physios will tailor a treatment plan to improve comfort, mobility, and strength.

How do we treat
wrist pain?

Wrist pain is a common issue that can develop gradually from overuse or strike suddenly due to injury. It’s often linked to repetitive tasks, poor ergonomics, or underlying conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. To help you better understand what’s going on, we’ve broken it down into the key areas below.

  • A person receives physical therapy, stretching arm; mirrored reflection.

    Active Release Technique

    Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on treatment that targets tight or damaged tissues around the wrist. It combines specific pressure with wrist movements to release tension, break down scar tissue, and restore range. It’s highly effective for tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and repetitive strain injuries.

  • Close-up of acupuncture needles in a person's shoulder during treatment

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling is used to release trigger points in the forearm and hand muscles that contribute to wrist pain. By inserting fine needles into these tight spots, we help reduce muscle tension, inflammation, and discomfort, especially useful for stubborn pain that doesn’t improve with stretching alone.

    Exercise Therapy

    As pain improves, we guide you through tailored wrist and forearm exercises to rebuild strength, flexibility, and control. These simple, targeted exercises are key to preventing flare-ups and support long-term healing, whether your wrist injury came from sport, work, or everyday strain.

  • Man with kinesiology tape on shoulder and tattoo

    Fascial Abrasion Technique

    This hands-on technique uses a specialised tool to break up adhesions in the fascia, tough connective tissue around muscles and joints. For wrist pain, FAT helps improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and restore smoother movement, especially in cases of long-standing tension or scar tissue buildup.
