injured my wrist.  I am a stay-at-home mom with a
young infant.  It was too difficult for me to
make an appointment at a clinic and bring the
baby.  I am so glad I found out about Virtual
Physical Therapy for my wrist and hand pain!  My
clinician was able to figure out what was wrong
with my wrist and gave me exercises for my wrist
pain.  I am now pain-free! Michelle S. (Orlando,

A mechanical assessment will be performed and
this includes assessing your baseline range of
motion and quality of movement along with any
pain and limitations.  Spinal movements will be
assessed to see if they have any effect on your
baseline symptoms.  Next, your clinician will
perform repeated movements of the affected joint
and analyze any effect that these moments have on
your baseline symptoms.  This thorough assessment
will reveal any mechanical problems in your wrist
and hand and the surrounding soft tissue. After
your clinician completes this in-depth
evaluation, they will educate you on how you can
treat yourself and provide you with an
individualized exercise program. Wrist Hand
