Your initial wrist pain assessment

Your recovery begins with a detailed clinical evaluation. In some cases we also use our Movement MOT assessment to analyse strength, mobility and movement patterns contributing to wrist pain.

During this session, we focus on:

  • Functional Screening: Assessing your elbow, shoulder, and posture to identify contributing mechanical strains.

  • Specialised Testing: Using provocative clinical tests to differentiate between nerve, tendon, or ligament issues.

  • Immediate Planning: Providing a clear diagnosis, hands-on relief, and a personalised digital recovery programme.
