Sprain to the ulnar side of the right wrist. Second-degree in severity was x-rayed to rule out fractures of the wrist. Injury was caused by a fall. Wrist was turned under the body with the body weight falling on it. Was treated 2 hours after injury (Balance Setting), 1 hour 40 minutes daily for 12 days. Swelling went down, movement went from none to almost full range with no pain. Strength came back (from none), enough for client to do a massage 2 weeks from the injury. Full range of movement came back to wrist. No pain in wrist, client can return to work as a massage therapist!
