Introduction to Wrist Issues

Physiotherapy in Richmond for Wrist

Welcome to the Cambie Physiotherapy and Health Clinic’s resource about your wrist.

Wrist injuries are very common because we use our hands and arms for so many of our daily activities, and if we fall, it's most natural for us to put our hands out to catch ourselves or break the fall.  Overuse injuries in the workplace occur frequently in jobs that are repetitive, as in working on a computer or on a line in a factory. Sports injuries to the wrist occur often, they can happen in almost any sport, and are likely to keep you off the field or court while you are healing.

To help you to better understand wrist injuries, their rehab and possibly how to prevent them, we've put together a collection of resources for you to review.  We hope you find them helpful, and feel free to ask your Cambie Physiotherapy and Health Clinic therapist any questions you might have about something you've read.

 Dr. T Kang began treating me for hand pain that I have not been able to shake for about 5 years. I was finding my ability to hold a pen would fluctuate from 20 seconds to 3 minutes before I could not hold it anymore. For years, I thought it was Arthritis or Carpel Tunnel. I've had it treated before at other Accupuncture clinics but not with much success. After just one visit at Cambie Physio, I was able to hold a pen for longer durations (like, 20 minutes easily!). I liked that he assessed both my hands, not just the one I write with, and treated both of them using a variety of therapies. On the first session, he treated me with Needling, Ultrasound therapy, TENS with heat and a little bit of Accupressure. I have had 4 sessions with him, spread out over 3 weeks because of how long I've carried the injury for. I am always surprised how much he can fit in and how I see progress quite quickly after each session. Also, he is super gentle with the Needles- I hate accupuncture and needles but he is so gentle that I don't even notice them go in!! Highly recommend Dr. Kang and this great facility and staff.

 Satvir is an awesome physiotherapist who geniunely cares about her patients’ well-being. She treated me for a wrist injury over the span of 3 months and helped me achieve full recovery. Their schedules are well-planned so there’s rarely any wait time. I also appreciate their flexibility for last minute changes, instead of charging customers for being late or no-show.
