Discover How to Beat Hand & Wrist Pain
Without Taking PainkillersWithout Having to Wait to See the GPPeople who come to see us at Relive Physiotherapy complaining about Hand & Wrist Pain tell us that it has changed their life. And not in a positive way. They are in pain all or most of the time and can’t function properly. Does this sound familiar?
If I ignore it, it should get better! WRONG!
It’s nothing, I can cope. NO!
You’re in pain, your hand and wrist are stiff or sore. It’s probably having a negative impact on your life. You’re definitely not not doing things that you used to be able to do. The pain may even be preventing you from sleeping at night.
Will resting your hand and wrist help ease the symptoms?
PROBABLY NOT!
Will avoiding those painful activities help? NO!
What you are feeling in your hand and wrist will probably get worse without the right sort of treatment. The soreness and pain won’t go away. Every time you try to use either of them, you’ll get a reminder that you have an injury.
Hand and wrist pain is terrible as it can stop you doing simple everyday tasks. And a lot of the people that we see actually make it worse by doing the WRONG things. Want to work on the computer? No, it hurts! Make a cup of tea? No, can’t lift the cup properly. Clean your teeth? Too painful. The effect that this has on your mental wellbeing and self-confidence should not be underestimated. You become OVER cautious when living your life and eventually your hand and wrist become weaker and even stiffer.
Hand and wrist pain can be horrible and it isn’t something anybody wants to live with. The people that come to see us at Relive Physiotherapy in Chester ask us:
“WHY IT THIS HAPPENING TO ME"?
Or
"WHY AM I STILL SUFFERING"?
To help you make the right decisions about taking care of your injury, we’ve prepared a short report where you can learn about the different conditions that might affect your hand and wrist, such as Trigger Finger, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tendonitis and many more.
There is so much information about hands and wrists on the internet. Sadly, the majority of people who come to the Relive Physiotherapy Clinic in Chester to talk about their hand and wrist injuries have either not found the right explanation or they have been given bad advice by somebody close to them. Whilst phrases such as ‘you’ll feel better with a bit of rest’, ‘give it a few days and see if it hasn’t got better’ or ‘go and see the GP to get some painkillers’ are well-meant, they won’t help your hand or wrist condition. Days, weeks, months (and even years) can go by and NOTHING will have changed. In fact, the pain might even be worse than it was at the beginning. The advice you got hasn’t helped you – the painkillers have made the pain go away for a while, but as soon as you stop them, the pain is back. It might have been nice to rest, but your hand and wrist don’t feel any better. You’ve followed the advice you got and it hasn’t worked. You’ve been inactive or on painkillers for a while, but you might be in even worse shape than you were when this all started.
Do the right things. They will help. If you don’t, then you are going to have to get used to hand and/ or wrist pain as they will be something that you notice every day. Getting ‘older’ doesn’t mean accepting the pain and bowing to the ‘inevitable’. The pain may have stopped you from being active or doing the activities that you love, such as sport, doing the garden, looking after children or doing DIY, but you will be able to do them again with the right treatment.
If you have a hand or wrist injury and are in pain, then you don’t know what or who to believe about what is best for you. The information that you have found on the internet is contradictory and family and friends all have an opinion on what you should do. Very rarely are they medically trained, so despite meaning well, their advice will not help you at all. You are conflicted, you don’t know what to do, so you do NOTHING. Wrist and hand injuries can sometimes be caused by an impact or a sudden injury, but more often than not, they are the RESULT of poor care (not looking after them properly) and the EFFECT of making many repetitive movements.
Don’t suffer in silence as you are not alone. Our experts at the Relive Physiotherapy Clinic in Chester can help your recovery. Our patients tell us:
I thought the pain would go away by itself, but it DIDN’TI’ve been told that everyone my AGE gets this and I’ll just have to ‘Put Up With It’I went to see my GP – they gave me painkillers and told me to rest. It felt better for a while, but as soon as I stopped taking the medication, my pain was backI found some exercises on the internet, but they didn’t help, only made it worse I went to see a massage therapist. It was nice and pleasant at first, but it didn’t fix my pain long termI’ve been to see all manner of people and tried what they recommended but nothing they said or did seemed to helpIf this is you, then book a call with the best Physiotherapy Clinic in Chester, and one of our friendly and helpful Relive Physiotherapists can have a chat to you (for FREE) to talk about what we can do to help you.

We’ll give you the right information to help you make an informed choice and get back to doing those activities you LOVE, faqLEEPING better and back off the medication that is managing your pain, but not your condition.
Making the right decision TODAY is the first step to treating your pain. You will feel better mentally, as if a weight has been taken off your mind. Soon the pain that seems to have been there forever will be a dim and distant memory. Put yourself back in control.
Avoiding using your hand or wrist for a longer period of time will just add to the pain, soreness and stiffness that you are feeling. It’s really the opposite of what you want to achieve.
Resting the right amount can be a good thing in your recovery, but it isn’t always the right thing for the pain that you have. Keeping your hand and wrist active is an important part of your recovery, so how better to do this than with exercises from your friendly Relive Physiotherapist?
People always underestimate how important a part exercises play in their recovery. Our Physiotherapists have been trained to give you the right exercises for YOUR recovery and in the right quantities. The exercises will always be simple to do, and the Relive Physiotherapist will show you how to do them and check you are doing them correctly to make sure that they really count.
People who get their exercises from the internet, are often disappointed. 90% of the exercises that they get from this source are either incorrectly done or not appropriate and this often causes the pain and injury to worsen. Not all hand and wrist injuries are the same, so any exercises you do should be given to you by a qualified professional.
You’ll start to feel better by following the 3 steps above. However, nothing beats the effect of ‘hands-on’ treatment. At Relive Physiotherapy, this is a method that you get as standard. The recent trend is for Physiotherapists to give exercises and mobile consultations rather than ‘hands-on’ treatment. We believe that you DESERVE the best and this is often the quickest route to recovery. It delivers lasting results for YOUR injury. If you are having difficulties doing your hobby, working or even doing routine everyday tasks pain-free, then TODAY is the first day of your recovery. Call Relive Physiotherapy and we can make it happen!
