Pain We Treat
Wrist Pain
Melbourne Muscular Therapies
Is that sharp niggle in your wrist getting all too much? Struggling to type on a computer, brush your hair, or pick up something heavy? Wrist pain has many causes — and getting the right diagnosis is the first step to resolving it properly.
Common causes include overuse of muscles in the forearm and wrist from repetitive work or training, referred pain from trigger points in the shoulder or chest, and previous injury from a fall or sporting accident. Tension throughout the forearm, upper arm, shoulder, and pec can all refer pain down into the wrist.
Your practitioner will correctly diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate your wrist pain. We clean the body of all pain and dysfunction using deep tissue massage, then build strength and resilience through Barefoot Exercise Rehab to ensure the pain does not return.

“I honestly can’t recommend Jordan enough. He supported me through months of wrist rehab with so much care and genuine attention... I’m now back at the gym lifting weights and almost fully recovered, which I’m so grateful for.”
“I suffered with chronic lower back pain from a bulging disc and it was preventing me from progressing in my exercise and strength building program. I had tried everything from chiropractic to acupuncture before I was recommended to MMT two years ago. I have since learnt that these guys are the leaders in their field and really understand how my body works. They have not only given me the pain relief that I thought would never happen, they have educated me on how to move correctly and avoid injury.”
“Amazing service. Darcy is fantastic with treatments and the lift club. There's a great level of professionalism and he is always ready to give tips and exercises to work on between treatments.”
“Highly rate these guys; been seeing Darcy for some months now and the remedial work, along with the priceless strength and conditioning exercises he gives, fits in perfectly with the professionally coached triathlon training sessions I have.”
“I had pain in my hip & knees for approximately 6 years before coming to see the guys at MMT. I'd tried all kinds of therapies including Physio & Osteo over the years and never really had results to show for the time and money spent. Not only are the guys here genuine, real and authentic but they're also amazing at what they do. Yes, it hurts sometimes but the relief after is 100% worth it.”
“I left feeling so much better after my first visit. The therapy session was designed around me and it was amazing to feel the therapist working on my needs. Would not hesitate in recommending Melbourne Muscular Therapies to anyone. A professional business that is clean, presentable and with friendly staff.”

Common Questions
FAQ's
Wrist pain commonly comes from overuse of muscles in the forearm and upper arm, referred pain from dysfunctional muscles further up the arm, shoulder, or chest, previous injury to the wrist or hand, or occupational injuries from repetitive work. Your practitioner will identify the exact cause before treating.
Rest, compression, and heat are the starting points. Direct myofascial treatment to the site using your thumbs, fingers, a lacrosse ball, foam roller, or barbell can provide immediate relief. Once acute pain settles, strengthening the forearm and addressing the broader kinetic chain prevents recurrence.
Heat and compression onto the site is recommended for most wrist pain cases. Heat increases blood flow and accelerates tissue healing. Ice is generally reserved for acute traumatic injuries with significant swelling in the first 24–48 hours.
Understand why your wrist pain is occurring. Are you repetitively overusing it at work or in the gym? Have you suffered a previous injury? Identifying the cause shapes the treatment. Combine deep tissue massage to the forearm, upper arm, shoulder, and chest with targeted strengthening for lasting results.
