FAQs

How an Osteopath Supports Wrist Pain

Glenn assesses the wrist, forearm, and hand in the context of the entire upper limb, including the elbow, shoulder, and neck. He identifies:

  • Joint restrictions or stiffness in the wrist and forearm

  • Muscle tension in the forearm, hand, and shoulder

  • Nerve compression or repetitive strain contributing to pain or tingling

  • Postural and movement patterns that may overload the wrist

Hands-on techniques, movement guidance, and ergonomic advice help reduce discomfort, restore function, and prevent recurrence. Each session includes a Wellness Plan for exercises and daily strategies.

Common Causes of Wrist Pain

Patients often book sessions for:

  • Pain or stiffness from typing, phone use, or repetitive tasks

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome with tingling, numbness, or burning in the fingers

  • Tendonitis or overuse injuries in the wrist or forearm

  • Discomfort from lifting, gripping, or sports activities

  • Pain following falls, trauma, or repetitive strain

Glenn works with patients of all ages, from office workers to athletes, to restore function and reduce load.
