Specialised treatment for wrist injuries, pain, and post-operative recovery

Wrist Therapy Gold Coast

At Evergreen Hand Therapy, we offer tailored wrist therapy programs designed to restore movement, strength, and comfort in the wrist and forearm.

Led by Dr Lauren Miller, our Accredited Hand Therapist with a research PhD on finger fracture management and over 20 years of clinical expertise, every treatment combines evidence-based care, clinical precision, and one-to-one attention for people living across Varsity Lakes, Robina, Burleigh, and the wider Gold Coast.

What is Wrist Pain and Injury?

Wrist pain can stem from sprains, tendon strain, fracture, arthritis, nerve compression, or post-surgical stiffness. Left untreated, it can limit grip, rotation, and daily functions like typing, lifting, sports, and childcare. Typical symptoms include:

  • Swelling or tenderness around the wrist joint
  • Pain when bending, straightening, twisting, or gripping
  • Reduced strength or range of motion
  • Clicking or a feeling of instability
  • Tingling or numbness through the fingers

Sprained Wrist Treatment and Physiotherapy

Our clinic provides targeted sprained wrist physiotherapy to guide recovery from mild to severe sprains. Each plan focuses on stabilising the joint, reducing pain, and rebuilding strength safely. Treatment may include:

  • Joint mobilisation and gentle exercise for flexibility
  • Swelling management using specific positioning and movement
  • Supportive taping or splinting to protect healing tissue
  • Wrist taping for stability during activity or early rehab
  • Progressive strengthening to prevent re-injury

Pain Relief and Rehabilitation for Wrist Pain

Persistent or unexplained wrist pain can signal deeper tissue or nerve involvement. Early assessment is key. Specialist therapy can reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and help prevent chronic pain. Dr Miller assesses the underlying cause and tailors therapy to relieve pain and restore function through:

  • Soft-tissue release and manual therapy
  • Ergonomic and movement retraining
  • Customised home exercise programs
  • Education on posture, loading, and preventions

Custom Wrist Brace Fitting Evergreen Hand Therapy provides custom wrist brace fitting in Varsity Lakes for comfort, stability, and targeted support. Splints are fabricated onsite and moulded to your wrist for protection during recovery or daily activities. These braces are ideal for sprains and repetitive strain injuries, arthritis and chronic wrist conditions, and post-surgical protection.

Wrist and Elbow Post-operative Therapy After wrist or elbow surgery, early movement and structured rehabilitation are essential for full recovery. Evergreen designs personalised post-operative therapy programs that coordinate with your surgeon’s recommendations. Therapy includes wound, scar and swelling management, gentle range-of-motion exercises, progressive strengthening and dexterity training, and functional retraining for daily tasks and work readiness.
