Hand and Wrist Pain Treatment Across Northwich, Knutsford, and Cheshire
Specialist physiotherapy for hand, wrist, and forearm pain, injuries, and post-surgical recovery.
Specialist Physiotherapy for Hand and Wrist Pain
Hand and wrist pain can make even simple daily tasks difficult, from gripping objects and typing to lifting, training, or working with tools. Pain may develop gradually through overuse or appear suddenly after injury or trauma.
At The Injury & Performance Clinic, we provide expert hand and wrist pain treatment in Knutsford. Our physiotherapists focus on identifying the cause of your symptoms and guiding you through a clear, structured recovery plan aimed at restoring strength, movement, and confidence.
Why Hand and Wrist Pain Happens
The hand and wrist are complex structures made up of multiple small joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Because they are used constantly throughout the day, they are particularly prone to overload and irritation.
Pain may be felt locally in the wrist or hand, or it may travel into the forearm or fingers. In some cases, symptoms such as weakness, stiffness, or altered sensation may also occur.
Hand and wrist pain can be caused by:
Repetitive strain or overuse
Sports injuries or falls
Tendon irritation or inflammation
Ligament sprains or instability
Nerve compression or irritation
Fractures or post-injury stiffness
Post-surgical weakness or restricted movement
