MASSAGE FOR WRIST FRACTURE-After cast removal
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 04. 2023
- Massage therapy for when the cast is removed after a wrist fracture can be very effective. When a joint is immobilized in a cast, there will be bone healing but there will be associated joint hypomobility/stiffness and muscle atrophy, tightness and weakness. Massage can help with mobilizations to increase joint range-of-motion, soft tissue release work to loosen tight muscles and teaching a patient strengthening exercises to restore strength and function.

Thank you...after 6 weeks in a big cast after breaking my wrist I have been in pain trying to get my hand moving again. I am still waiting to get into the physical therapy on Tuesday. I hope they will massage my hand, wrist, and up to my elbow because mine is swollen and painful too. I am doing as you showed for myself the best I can. 😊
Thank you for watching, I wish you the best of luck in your recovery. It can take a long time, just be patient and focus on the little successes.
I do my surgery on my wrist 5weeks ago, and to day I come to hospital to consult the doctor, if possible may be also open the cast, but my hand didn't swollen anymore and also can use to carry the light stuff, hope everything will be OK today so I will restart normal life@@MotionRestoration
@@muntamah1197that’s great to hear! Those little successes will keep coming and you will feel back to ‘normal’ before you know it!
Thank you for your sharing. I had a total broken ulna and distal radius in my right arm for 6 weeks after surgery done next day. I am in pain and recovering through exercises and massage from these similar communities that I am learning.
I am sorry to hear about your injury, it’s not a fun process to go through. I’m glad you have found a community to help you out!
Best of luck with your recovery!!
I hope this channel sees some good growth. You are still way to under subbed
❤ Thank you for the wonderful comment!!
I was in a cast for almost two months, sadly, I didn't know i had to keep my fingers moving. They are so stiff. I wish I could get this massage.
Oh no, that’s not good! Sorry you weren’t given a protocol to follow with your fracture and cast.
You can start doing massages yourself to get them moving, it works great after putting your hand in warm water for 2 min, cool water for 1, warm again for 2 min, repeat 2x for a total of 10 minutes. Then do a hand massage and move your joints. I know it can take some time though and I wish you the best of luck!!
@@MotionRestoration Thank you so much for that information.
@@ChristineDuval-cy5ckyou are so welcome!!
Soothing 😊
Glad you found it soothing!

Thank you very much. The first advice I received and I must say it is really wonderful! Ivana, Czech republic
I am so glad you found this helpful!
I'm not seeing a lot of finger massages for the joints. Can you makeone
Great idea, I will put it on the list!
I sustain a lot of injuries in my line of work, and my left arm in particular still gives me jip after being shattered one time. Massage like this would have been fantastic after the cast came off from that, but it almost seems like there is some sort of law in the UK restricting all massage to a half-hearted squeeze of the shoulders and rub of the upper back. I might just have to come to Canada specially....
I’m really sorry to hear that, I know there are different standards for massage therapy throughout the world, if you would like me to film a video on “how to massage your own wrist after cast removal”, I can do that for you!
@@MotionRestoration That would be great, Miki - thank you! Although my main problem is with my left elbow: pretty much full functionality has been restored, but the muscles all round the joint feel very stringy and uncomfortable, and there is ulnar nerve pain right down into my hand.
@@hugojames85 ulnar nerve pain is awful! I really hope you can find some relief from that!
@@MotionRestoration It's more constant discomfort than measurable pain in my case. I found one MT ever who agreed to hard-massage the stringy muscles around the elbow, and I think that was only because she had just been stiffed out of a massage scholarship in America and was angry at the world. I also found an acupuncturist to set up an "over-stim feed-back loop" by needling either end of the damaged ulnar nerve, but then she appeared to flee the country rather than go through with it.
@@hugojames85 Oh wow, i'm really sorry to hear about the experiences you have had in the past!
Can I do this massage to my 3-yr old son?
Yes! You definitely can do this for your 3-year old. Keep your pressure light to start, check in with him to make sure it’s not too uncomfortable.
I hope he has a quick recovery!
