Physiotherapy for Wrist Stiffness with Mulligan Mobilization
Do you feel stiffness in your wrist while gripping, lifting, or turning objects? Has your wrist movement become restricted after an injury, fracture, or prolonged immobilization? Do daily activities like writing, typing, or opening jars feel difficult?
Wrist stiffness can develop after fractures, sprains, surgery, repetitive strain, or prolonged use of a splint. Joint restrictions, soft tissue tightness, and altered movement patterns can limit wrist mobility and affect hand function.
Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM) combines a therapist-applied joint glide with active wrist movement. This technique aims to restore normal joint mechanics, reduce pain during movement, and improve range of motion in a functional manner.
How Physiotherapy Helps Treatment focuses on:
Mulligan mobilization techniques for the wrist
Improving joint mobility and flexibility
Reducing pain and stiffness
Strengthening wrist and forearm muscles
Restoring grip strength and hand function
Perform gentle wrist mobility exercises, avoid prolonged immobilization unless advised, stretch the forearm muscles regularly, and gradually return to daily activities as movement improves.
