Get hands-on, precision care that targets the root cause of your wrist pain—so you can move freely, work comfortably, and get back to what you love.
When Wrist Pain Controls Your Day, Everything Suffers
Simple tasks become impossible. Generic treatments fail. Your pain keeps returning.
Pain That Never Truly Goes Away
Temporary fixes and generic exercises fade fast. Without addressing the real driver—joint mechanics, soft tissue restrictions, and movement control—your wrist pain keeps coming back.
Simple Tasks Become Struggles
Typing, lifting, gripping, even turning a doorknob sends sharp pain through your wrist. You've tried braces, ice, and rest—but nothing provides lasting relief.
One-Size-Fits-All Care Fails You
You've been shuffled through assembly-line treatment and waiting rooms, seeing multiple practitioners without results. Protocols help some people, but not you.

What San Antonio Patients Are Saying About Their Results
"I have been dealing with chronic pain and numbness for a few years and have felt my body get weaker as I have aged. After a couple sessions I noticed that my body had become stronger with pain less often. Maverick Manual Therapy focused on my body structure and functionality before just jumping in on exercises. I see light at the end of the tunnel."
"If you have been on the fence about calling Maverick Manual Therapy & Performance, please do so now. He truly helped me. I went in with hip and lower back pain but shortly realized it was also neck and rib issues he could help with as well. He not only helped in those areas but also taught me ways to support my every day life so these issues wouldn't come back!"
"Clayton's approach to therapy was completely different than other PT I have tried. The whole session is one on one care which I never received at pt clinics I went to as they have multiple patients in at once. My pain is completely gone and I am so much stronger and know how to use my body more efficiently."

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers about wrist pain manual therapy near you.
1. What is manual therapy for wrist pain?
Manual therapy is expert hands-on treatment using manipulation of fascial, muscular, and joint systems in your wrist and surrounding areas. Unlike generic exercises or protocols, we use our hands to directly address tissue restrictions, joint mechanics, and movement dysfunction causing your wrist pain. Treatment is individualized to your comfort level and focuses on correcting the root cause, not just managing symptoms.
2. How is this different from traditional physical therapy?
At Maverick Manual Therapy, you receive one-on-one attention from Dr. Labus for your entire session—no waiting rooms, no sharing time with other patients. We perform a whole-body evaluation to find the true source of your wrist pain, which may be coming from your shoulder, neck, or postural dysfunction. You'll arrive at your scheduled time and see Dr. Labus immediately with a thorough, hands-on approach that traditional PT clinics can't provide.
3. Do you accept insurance for wrist pain treatment?
We operate as an out-of-network provider, which allows us to spend more time with each patient and provide truly individualized care. This model is more efficient and often requires fewer total appointments than traditional insurance-based PT. We can provide documentation for potential reimbursement from your insurance company, and transparent pricing is discussed during your consultation.
4. How long are appointments and how many will I need?
Each session provides focused, one-on-one attention with Dr. Labus. The number of visits needed depends on your specific condition, how long you've had wrist pain, and your goals. Because we address root causes rather than just symptoms, many patients experience significant relief faster than with traditional PT. We track measurable progress at each visit and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
5. What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation of your wrist mobility, control, and strength—but we don't stop there. Dr. Labus evaluates your entire body to identify movement patterns and dysfunctions contributing to your wrist pain. You'll receive expert manual therapy treatment in that same visit, along with a clear plan for recovery. You'll leave knowing what we found, what we did, and what to do next.
6. Can manual therapy help chronic wrist pain?
Yes. Many of our patients have dealt with wrist pain for months or years after trying rest, braces, exercises, and other treatments without lasting relief. Manual therapy addresses the underlying tissue restrictions, joint mechanics, and movement compensations that keep chronic pain returning. If movement or loading makes your wrist pain worse—or better—we can find why and treat it effectively.
