  • Not Your Average Rehab

    “I’ve been going to Cuirim Sports Recovery for rehab on my wrist after surgery, and I can’t say enough good things about this place. The whole team is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but what stands out most is how accommodating and personable they are. They’ve worked around my busy schedule and always made sure I’m getting the attention and care I need.

    My wrist has improved so much thanks to their approach, and every session feels tailored to me rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. I always leave feeling like real progress is being made. If you’re looking for a place that truly cares about your recovery and long-term health, I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

    —Max Lane

The entire staff is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Being from the Mesa Newport area I have a great amount of experience with PTs in the area. Cuirim has been my number one choice over the past three years. Treatments are not your typical exercises with little manual intervention. Sessions are customized to your ailments and not just a protocol for them to follow.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Limitations or weakness in the shoulder, elbow, and upper back can affect how force is transferred through the arm. When larger joints aren't functioning optimally, smaller areas like the wrist and hand often take on more stress, which can lead to irritation over time.

  • Numbness or tingling in the hand is often related to nerve irritation or compression, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. These symptoms may be more noticeable during repetitive activities, prolonged positioning, or while sleeping.

  • Pain with weight-bearing activities can be related to tendon irritation, ligament injuries, joint stiffness, or mobility limitations within the wrist. An evaluation can help determine the specific cause.

  • If your pain is persistent, worsening, or affecting your ability to grip, lift, type, exercise, or perform daily tasks, it's a good idea to have it evaluated. Addressing the issue early can help prevent it from becoming a longer-term limitation.
