Questions about wrist pain.

Start with the reason you are looking

If wrist pain is affecting typing, gripping, lifting or hand use, start by describing the activity you want to manage more easily. You do not need to name a diagnosis in the first enquiry.

Pain and movement changes can have different causes. A qualified health professional confirms whether physiotherapy is suitable, what assessment may involve and which treatment or next step is appropriate.

Useful details to include

Keep the first enquiry short and general. These prompts can help us understand what you are hoping to discuss:

• The activity affected by wrist pain
• When you noticed the change and whether it is changing
• Your suburb and preferred appointment format
