Physiotherapy in Pronator Teres Syndrome

Physiotherapy in Pronator Teres Syndrome

Pronator Teres Syndrome (PTS) is a rare nerve compression condition where the median nerve gets compressed by the pronator teres muscle in the forearm. It mimics carpal tunnel syndrome but differs in the site of nerve entrapment and symptoms. Patients may experience pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the forearm and handβ€”especially with repetitive forearm use.

Physiotherapy plays a key role in relieving symptoms and avoiding surgery.

Under the guidance of Dr. Deepika Bansal, individualized therapy in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, and Pimple Saudagar focuses on:

πŸ”Ή Pain relief: Using modalities like ultrasound, TENS, or cold therapy to reduce inflammation and nerve irritation
πŸ”Ή Stretching exercises: Gentle stretches of the pronator teres, flexor group, and wrist to relieve pressure on the median nerve
πŸ”Ή Nerve gliding techniques: Median nerve flossing helps improve mobility and reduce entrapment
πŸ”Ή Strengthening exercises: Focused on wrist extensors, supinators, and overall forearm balance to reduce pronator overload
πŸ”Ή Posture correction and ergonomic advice: Essential to prevent recurrence, especially for computer users or repetitive arm workers

Early intervention with physiotherapy can prevent chronic nerve damage. If you're facing persistent forearm or hand discomfort, consult Dr. Deepika Bansal for accurate diagnosis and effective physiotherapy care.
