WHAT ELSE CAN I DO FOR HAND PAIN?

This will help make frequent daily chores, as well as strenuous, repetitive motions, much easier. Your physical therapist can also provide manual techniques for relief, such as targeted massage, pressure, and stretching of the affected area(s) to keep muscles loose and to relieve inflammation.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to contact a physical therapist.Wecandetermine thecauseofyourpainandhelp treat itaccordingly. Wrist and hand injuries are also common as a result of workplace injury and overuse. While it is sometimes possible to take action to prevent an injury from developing, it is especially important to be able to recognize when an injury develops and to understand ways that you can combat that injury by identifying what may have caused the pain to develop in the first place.
