Wrist pain is stopping you from lifting, typing, swinging, or just living your life. At The Movement Schopp, our Doctors of Physical Therapy identify the root cause of your wrist pain and build a personalized plan to get you back to the activities you love — without just telling you to rest.
Most people with chronic wrist pain are told to rest, ice it, and wait. But if you’re an active adult or athlete in Torrance, waiting isn’t an option — and generic advice only keeps you stuck longer.
Whether it’s lifting, CrossFit, or your weekend round of golf, wrist pain is pulling you off the field, out of the gym, and away from the sport that keeps you sane.
You’ve tried icing it, bracing it, and taking a week off — but the pain keeps coming back. That’s because the root cause has never been addressed.
Ignoring wrist pain doesn’t make it disappear. Compensating with other joints, weakening supporting muscles, and delaying care all make recovery longer and harder.
At The Movement Schopp, every session is a dedicated 1-on-1 experience with a Doctor of Physical Therapy — no assistants, no cookie-cutter programs. We use comprehensive biomechanical assessments to find the true source of your wrist pain and build a sport-specific recovery plan that keeps you active while you heal. With 346 five-star Google reviews, we’re the trusted wrist pain physical therapy clinic near you in the South Bay.
Your first visit is a full hour with a Doctor of PT. We assess your wrist, identify the root cause of your pain, and map out exactly how we’ll fix it — for good.
We build a sport-specific program using manual therapy, targeted strengthening, and mobility work — keeping you active and progressing every step of the way.
Get back to lifting, running, golfing, or whatever drives you — stronger, more resilient, and equipped with the tools to stay pain-free long after you leave our clinic.
Our Torrance physical therapy team treats a wide range of upper extremity conditions affecting athletes and active adults. Whether your wrist pain stems from overuse, a tendon issue, or a compensatory pattern rooted elsewhere in the kinetic chain, we find the cause and treat it with precision. We also address related conditions — from elbow and shoulder pain to full-body movement dysfunction — so you recover completely.

“Within two weeks, the pain that had plagued me for years was gone.” As a lifelong runner in my late 50s, I endured sacroiliac joint pain for years. Dr. Andrew works with you one on one for the entire one hour session, providing focused individual care. After four months of therapy, not only was I running pain free, but I also shaved a remarkable 34 minutes off my marathon time.

“My pain is gone and my shoulder strength and mobility significantly increased.” I had an excellent experience working with Tori, at Movement Schopp, for a shoulder muscle impingement. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and took the time to explain each exercise and the purpose behind it. Thanks to their guidance, my pain is gone. The whole staff was supportive and great to work with.

“I can now enjoy a much more active lifestyle.” I was suffering from severe hip and back pain before starting my physical therapy sessions at Movement Schopp. After working with Dr. Daniel Ignatius, I’ve resolved most—if not all—of my pain. Dr. Ignatius has an excellent bedside manner, is extremely attentive, and is genuinely committed to helping his patients reach their health goals.

Everything you need to know before your first visit to our Torrance wrist pain physical therapy clinic.
Every session is a dedicated 1-on-1 hour with a Doctor of Physical Therapy — not an aide or assistant. We treat the root cause of your wrist pain, not just the symptoms, and we keep you active throughout recovery rather than telling you to simply rest and wait.
We are an out-of-network provider. Please contact our team at (310) 751-0635 or team@themovementschopp.com to discuss your specific coverage options and what to expect at your first visit. (Note: billing policy to be confirmed with client before publishing.)
Your first evaluation is a full 60 minutes. Subsequent sessions are also one-on-one with your Doctor of PT. The number of visits varies by condition and goals — many patients see meaningful improvement within just a few sessions.
In California, you can see a licensed physical therapist directly without a physician referral. You can book your evaluation at The Movement Schopp and start your recovery right away.
Not if we can help it. Our philosophy is to modify your activity — not eliminate it. We’ll tailor your program so you can continue training safely while your wrist heals, adjusting the plan as you progress.
Your first visit includes a comprehensive biomechanical and movement assessment, hands-on treatment, and a clear explanation of your diagnosis and recovery plan. You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s wrong and how we’re going to fix it.
We help everyday athletes like YOU bounce back from injuries and get back to performing at their highest levels!
