Arm and Hand Conditions

Wrist pain

Q: Why does my wrist hurt when doing push-ups or gym presses?

Full wrist extension under compressive load pinches the dorsal carpal bones and stretches the volar capsule. Mobilization and progressive load tolerance exercises eliminate this pinch.

Q: How does physiotherapy treat TFCC tears or ulnar wrist pain?

We stabilize the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), offload the ulnar column, and strengthen the pronator quadratus and wrist extensor stabilizers.

Q: How long does wrist sprain rehab typically take?

Mild to moderate wrist ligament sprains resolve within 4 to 8 weeks with structured clinical rehabilitation.

Addressing carpal bone alignments, TFCC ligament strains, and load management for computer users, lifters, and athletes.

Clinical Approach to Wrist pain

Clinical Treatment

Manual carpal bone glides and wrist joint decompression therapy for sprains and RSI at Zen Physio Nashik.

Common Symptoms

Sharp or aching pain over the dorsal or ulnar wrist during push-ups, typing, or heavy gripping.
Clicking, popping, or painful instability when twisting doorknobs or opening jars.
Swelling, tenderness, and morning stiffness along the carpal joints and wrist ligaments.
Weakened wrist extension and loss of functional grip endurance.

Biomechanical Causes

Wrist pain typically stems from carpal bone subluxations (scaphoid/lunate restrictions), Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) tears, repetitive strain injuries (RSI) from computer typing, or post-fall sprains (FOOSH). Manual carpal joint mobilization and neuromuscular wrist stabilization restore pain-free load distribution.

What to Expect:

Evaluation of carpal kinematics and tendon gliding. Treatment integrates Therapeutic Ultrasound, Elastic Kinesio Taping Support, and Manual Joint Mobilisations.

Treatment Benefits & Objectives:

Restores smooth arthrokinematic gliding across all eight carpal bones.
Relieves deep wrist ache during weight-bearing push-ups and gym lifts.
Strengthens dynamic wrist stabilizers and intrinsic forearm muscles.
Provides personalized typing ergonomics and wrist-neutral load guidance.

Recovery Path Milestones

Phase 1

Pain Suppression & Carpal Mobilization

Therapeutic ultrasound, dorsal-volar carpal glides, and kinesiology wrist taping.

Phase 2

Isometric Wrist & Forearm Activation

Sub-maximal multi-angle isometric wrist holds and gentle range of motion drills.

Phase 3

Eccentric Loading & Pronation-Supination

Dumbbell wrist eccentrics, hammer rotations, and dynamic grip strengthening.

Phase 4

Closed-Chain Weight-Bearing Integration

Push-up progressions, kettlebell carries, and sport-specific wrist loading.
