Introduction to Wrist Issues

Physical Therapy in Merrick and Amityville for Wrist

Welcome to the Summit Physical Therapy’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 Summit Physical Therapy therapist any questions you might have about something you've read.

 On Dec. 2, 2021 I fractured my left wrist and after 5 weeks in a cast or brace my wrist was not very flexible. PT was ordered by the Orthopedic Doctor. Summit PT was my choice. The doctor also had words of praise for Summit PT. My wife and I have been long time patients over the years. We have always been happy with the care that we received From Graham Webb and staff. They are always cheery and helpful. My wrist is just about back to where it was pre-accident. When a friend or relative needs PT we will always recommend Summit Pt.

 I have been going to Summit Physical Therapy on and off for 10 years. I wouldn't think about going anywhere else, even with the many other PT offices in the area. All three of the therapists are great. I've seen them all, but you get to decide who you would like to see. His staff is equally great. I'm a Dentist and they treat all the patients as I treated my patients in my practice
