Wrist Pain Is Costing You More Than You Think
Whether it flares during a lift, a tennis swing, or a long day at the keyboard, wrist pain has a way of creeping into every corner of your life—and most people wait too long to address it.
Generic Treatment That Doesn't StickÂ
Cookie-cutter rest-and-ice protocols may quiet the pain temporarily, but they never address why your wrist hurts in the first place—leaving you stuck in a cycle of flare-ups.
Forced to Modify or Quit EntirelyÂ
Avoiding the movements that aggravate your wrist means scaling back at the gym, dropping out of competition, or grinding through a workday in discomfort—none of which are acceptable.
No Clear Path Back to Full PerformanceÂ
Without a plan built around your specific goals—whether that's returning to lifting, running, tennis, or a pain-free desk job—it's almost impossible to know what 'recovered' actually looks like.

"Recently I competed at the Arnold and hit a 100kg snatch and 131 clean & jerk completely pain-free. The team helped me figure out what was actually causing the issue and built a plan that allowed me to keep training while addressing the root problem."
Your Path Back to Pain-Free Performance in 3 Steps
Step 1: Uncover the Root CauseÂ
Your first session is a deep dive. Your Doctor of PT will assess your wrist, movement patterns, and training history to identify exactly what's driving your pain—not just where it hurts, but why.
Step 2: Follow Your Personalized PlanÂ
We build a treatment plan around your goals—whether that's returning to the barbell, the tennis court, or a full day at your desk without pain. Each 60-minute session combines manual therapy, dry needling, and targeted strength work tailored specifically to you.
Step 3: Return Stronger Than BeforeÂ
Getting you out of pain is just the starting line. We progress your program until you're moving better, performing better, and confident your wrist won't hold you back again—for good.

"The exercises that Dom designed for me to do both during my sessions and at home have changed my life! My knee is no longer swollen, and I'm able to be on the court as a player and instructor at Olympic Indoor Tennis without fear of causing damage to myself. Finding Dom at AP has been amazing because he understands the life of an athlete and personalizes treatment accordingly."

Dr. Matt fixed me—now I'm able to work, walk, and golf without any pain or tightness. He explained why I was having the pain and worked with me to fix the root cause. I highly recommend them if you want lasting relief."
