Wrist Pain: What’s the Problem?
Wrist pain can be a proper bother, making everyday tasks like typing, grabbing a mug, or even waving hello a bit of a struggle. Your wrist is a busy little joint, packed with bones, tendons, and nerves that let you move your hand freely but can easily get irritated or sore.
What Causes Wrist Pain?
Wrist pain can kick off for all sorts of reasons – things like repetitive strain from typing or texting, sprains from a fall, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. Overdoing it with sports, gripping tools tightly, or even just bad posture can make things worse. Sometimes, it’s down to something as simple as wearing a wristwatch that’s too tight!
How Sports Massage and Remedial Therapists Can Help
Sports massage and remedial therapists are absolute legends at tackling wrist pain. They get in there with hands-on techniques to loosen up tight muscles, ease inflammation, and boost blood flow to help things heal. They’ll have a proper look at how your wrist’s moving, check your posture, and sort out a plan to fix what’s causing the trouble. This might include gentle massage, stretches, or exercises to strengthen your wrist and keep the pain from coming back.
Tips to Keep Wrist Pain Away
These therapists aren’t just about sorting the pain – they’ll give you top-notch tips to stop it happening again. Think simple tweaks like setting up your desk better, doing quick wrist stretches, or taking breaks from repetitive tasks.

What our clients say:
I went to see Isy after a friend recommended her. I had a bad shoulder for months and the doctors told me it was tendinitis and to just do some easy exercises and to take it easy. The pain did not shift until I went to see Isy!
Ben Eccles
She did an examination and established it was not tendinitis it was something to do with my rotator cuff. (she did tell me exactly what it was but I can’t remember) long story short, after only 2 sessions with Isy my shoulder pain went completely and I was able to go back to the gym and have no sharp shooting pains at all!!
100% recommend going to see Isy if you have anything that is bothering you like my shoulder was me.
