Now, with the arrival of Bowen Therapy, there is another bowstring in the fight against wrist pain. From the moment of diagnosis, Bowen Therapy’s wrist procedure begins reducing pain and swelling of the wrist and hand. A Bowen Therapist can implement specific treatments and exercises for wrist injuries and tendon problems. If you need surgery, your Bowen Therapist can also help with rehabilitation after the operation. You may also benefit from having an ergonomic evaluation that addresses workplace issues that may be contributing to wrist pain.
Also take in to account that If you have a broken bone in your wrist, then a “cast” or splint can help hold the bone fragments together while they heal. Which takes real time! Please be aware if you have sprained or strained your wrist a “splint” is particularly useful with overuse injuries by repetitive motions.
