Understanding Fracture of Forearm/Wrist
Recovery following a wrist or forearm fracture can involve stiffness, weakness, and reduced coordination. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, assessment targets joint mobility, muscle performance, and functional use of the upper limb. Rehabilitation includes hands-on mobilization, soft tissue techniques, and guided exercises to regain motion and strength. Where needed, supportive modalities may be used to facilitate tissue recovery and improve outcomes.

- Oedema & Pain ControlApply elevation, ice, and gentle compression techniques to manage post-fracture swelling and discomfort.
- Early Range of Motion ExercisesIntroduce gentle wrist and finger mobility exercises within protected ranges to prevent stiffness during healing.
- Grip & Wrist StrengtheningProgressively rebuild grip strength, wrist flexion, and extension strength as fracture healing allows.
