Wrist tendinitis occurs when the tendons around the wrist become irritated or inflamed—often from overuse, repetitive motion, or sudden increases in activity. Symptoms may include pain with movement, swelling, stiffness, and reduced grip strength.

When caught early, most cases improve with rest, activity modification, splinting, and physical therapy. Persistent pain may require guidance from a specialist.

If you think you have wrist tendinitis, call us today!

The holidays are full of joy, but getting back into your routine can leave your body feeling stiff and tired. Whether you’re returning to the office or the classroom, a few simple stretches and posture reminders can make all the difference!

Quick Recovery Tips:

• Stretch it out: Try gentle neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, and hamstring stretches to release tension.
• Sit smart: Keep both feet flat on the floor, shoulders relaxed, and avoid slouching.
• Take breaks: Stand up and move every 30 to 60 minutes to keep circulation flowing.
• Core check: Engage your core muscles while sitting to support your spine.

Small adjustments = big results. Stay energized, reduce aches, and start the new year feeling your best!
