Clinical Standards

Our Evidence-Based Approach

At Physynex, clinical quality is at the core of everything we do. We combine advanced diagnostic tools with evidence-based rehabilitation protocols to deliver predictable, high-standard patient outcomes.

UK-Standard Triage (Delivered in Chennai)

We adapt the UK's rigorous First Contact Practice (FCP) assessment model—drawn from our founder's clinical practice in the UK—directly to our operations in Chennai, India, ensuring safe and accurate orthopedic screening.

Objective Force Measurement

We test joint range of motion, muscle endurance, and limb strength balance to base your progress on hard data rather than guesswork.

Evidence-Based Loading

We implement progressive loading protocols (such as Rathleff or Alfredson) backed by peer-reviewed sports medicine research.

Pathology Overview

Understanding Wrist Tendinopathy & TFCC Therapy

Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) injuries involve damage to the cartilage on the pinky side of the wrist, causing pain during rotation or weight-bearing.

Wrist tendinopathies are overuse injuries causing pain along the wrist tendons, common in racket sports, gym loading, or computer-intensive work.

Ganglion cysts are harmless, fluid-filled lumps that can develop along the joints or tendons, sometimes causing local pain or movement restriction.

Our clinic provides specialized wrist therapy in Chennai to restore wrist stability, manage tendon loading, and recover from TFCC irritations.

Modalities Offered

Treatment Approaches

  • Wrist stabilization and load management exercises
  • Targeted grip and forearm strengthening to support the TFCC
  • Manual therapy and joint mobilisations to restore normal alignment
  • Bracing and taping strategies to protect the wrist during loading

Assessment Focus

What We Measure

  • Wrist stability and TFCC load test assessment
  • Forearm and wrist strengthening progression
  • Activity modification and gym loading advice

FAQs

Clinical Q&A

What is the TFCC?

The TFCC is a cartilaginous structure that supports the outer (pinky) side of the wrist, acting as a shock absorber and stabilizer.

How do I know if my TFCC is injured?

A TFCC tear typically presents as pain on the pinky side of the wrist, clicking during rotation, and pain when pushing up from a chair.

Will a ganglion cyst go away on its own?

Many ganglion cysts disappear without treatment. Physiotherapy is recommended if the cyst causes pain or limits wrist movement.
