That is not reccomended. Physiotherapy should be self driven . Pain relief should be prime.. Forceful manipulation not reccomended.

Hi, if you do manipulation it can worse sometimes. Physio is main with wax bath. Do exercises under warm water. Consult upper limb surgeon. Hope this information helps you. Opinion given by Dr Sivaraman . B, upper limb consultant, Thoraipakkam, OMR, Chennai
