We recommend consulting a musculoskeletal physiotherapist to ensure exercises are best suited to your recovery. If you are carrying out an exercise regime without consulting a healthcare professional, you do so at your own risk. If you have any concerns whilst completing these exercises, please contact a healthcare professional.
The basic programme is the earliest stage of rehabilitation and so it serves as an introduction to exercise and movement. It is designed to maintain the flexibility of the soft tissues of the forearm and wrist, as well as to increase the mobility of the radial nerve through nerve gliding exercises. This should not exceed more than 4/10 on your perceived pain scale.
Finally, the advanced programme is the last progression and it is tailored towards those who require a higher level of function. It comprises of more challenging and complex exercises which will load the affected structures in the forearm and wrist more to build muscle strength and improve resilience. This should not exceed more than 4/10 on your perceived pain scale.
