Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy for Wrist Fractures

Rehabilitation and physical therapy for wrist fractures aim to restore strength, flexibility, and function after healing. Initially, the focus is on gentle movements to prevent stiffness. As healing progresses, therapists introduce strengthening exercises to rebuild muscle and support the wrist. This process may include using specialized equipment and modalities to manage pain and swelling. Therapy also teaches proper techniques for daily activities to prevent re-injury. Overall, the goal is to help individuals regain full use of their wrist and return to their normal activities safely and effectively.
