Wrist pain, a common setback for those engaged in physical activities, can arise from various causes, affecting your daily routines and athletic pursuits. It often stems from repetitive motion, overuse, or injuries, leading to discomfort, swelling, and limited mobility.

Understanding the root causes of wrist pain is crucial for effective treatment. Common contributors include:

  • Repetitive Strain: Continuous, repetitive movements stressing the wrist joints.
  • Sprains and Strains: Injuries resulting from sudden impacts or excessive force on the wrist.
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, causing pain and numbness.
  • Arthritis: Inflammation of the joints, leading to stiffness and pain.

For active individuals, a swift return to their regular routines is essential. This is where physical therapy becomes a game-changer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend physical therapy for non-invasive pain relief, and research consistently supports its efficacy.

At HELIX Performance Physical Therapy, our dedicated therapists conduct a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of your wrist pain. We then tailor a personalized plan for relief, focusing on reducing inflammation, promoting healing, and restoring function. Our approach includes a variety of evidence-based techniques, such as:

  • Manual Therapy: Targeted techniques to alleviate tension and improve joint mobility.
  • Therapeutic Exercises: Customized exercises to strengthen specific muscle groups.

Can’t say enough about Wes

I hurt my leg training for a marathon and after working with him a few months, my leg feels GREAT! I just got home from a trip to Europe that I was a little worried about. I felt 100% the 2nd or 3rd day in Paris - maybe it was the 12-13 miles we were walking every day, maybe it was the French bread/wine, maybe it was both. Since i've been back, i've been riding my (indoor) bike too, just trying to get my leg stronger (still going to the gym, still doing my exercises). 

THANK YOU for all of your efforts, your knowledge, your patience. I couldn't have done it without your guidance.  And it is 100000% appreciated.

Skilled and very engaging

I found Wes while he was at Diablo PT via Yelp when I needed help with severe sciatic pain. I was able to schedule sessions with Wes and was amazed at his knowledge, skill and very engaging personality.

At no time did I ever feel that I was getting a "cookie cutter" problem. He listens very well and works with you as an individual to provide exactly what you need.

I can't say enough good things about Wes and how much he helped me fully recover and get even better than I was before my injury.

I feel better each time I leave

Wes Anderson is one of the best physical therapist I have ever had. He is professional, bright, explains everything he is doing to strengthen my body, and I feel better each time I leave. He does not just give you a massage. He is breaking down tight muscles and gives me more flexibility and movement.

No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care

I highly recommend Wes in Danville. Before going to Wes I had gone to several other places. Wes is, hands down, the one of the best. I saw him at his old clinic in Danville Diablo Physical Therapy. No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care.

Super detail oriented, reviewed my surgery notes and stick with me through each rep to make sure I'm doing it right. Hands down the best PT experience l've ever had.
