Dimensions
Extended description
- Spend time doing the exercises that are right for you. It is normal to feel some pain while doing the exercises. If the pain subsides after about 10 minutes of continuous practice, this is a sign that the exercises are relevant and will help over time. The exercises have a cumulative effect after daily practice over a period of several weeks.
- Exercises should be started at a low intensity and increased according to how you feel.
Recommended exercises:
- Extensor muscle stretch : Straighten your elbow and bend your wrist back with your other hand until you feel a stretch. Hold this stretch for a full minute. Repeat twice.
- Improving Range of Motion 1 : Hold the end of a broomstick (without the broom head), place your elbow on your thigh or on a table so that your palm is in the air. Rotate the stick from side to side using rotational movements of the forearm (supination and pronation) until you feel a stretch. Stay in the stretch in each direction for 5 seconds. Do this for a minute.
- Improving range of motion 2 : Interlace your fingers and rotate the palms of your hands alternately against each other.
- Isometric muscle strengthening : Hold a soft ball with a diameter of 10-20 cm, squeeze it with medium force with the participation of all fingers and hold for 5-10 seconds without pain. Release the hand for 10 seconds. Repeat 7 times.
If there is no improvement in your condition, consult a doctor or physical therapist about additional treatment options.
User manual
- Slide your hand through the wide opening of the support.
- Make sure your thumb goes through the designated opening so that the support sits comfortably on your wrist.
- The shield can be used throughout the day, as needed.
- Wash at a temperature of up to 30 degrees, then dry thoroughly before reuse.
- Do not put in the dryer.
Our expert advice
- Try to understand the initial cause of the pain, and look for any ongoing activities or conditions that perpetuate the pain. If you find any, work to eliminate these factors.
- If you work in an office, make sure your equipment is ergonomic and allows you to work comfortably and mindfully.
- In cases of sports injuries such as wrist sprains or tendon strains, it is recommended to use ice on the area in the first few days after the injury. It is common to use ice for 15-20 minutes, once every 3 hours (for effective cooling, it is recommended to use a cooling pad).
- If the pain returns after training or playing, it is recommended to use ice again, even if the original injury occurred a long time ago.
- If the pain is bothersome before an important game or a specific event where the hand needs to be at its best, you can apply an alternating heat-cold technique. Prepare a hot pad and a cold pad in front of you, place the hot pad on the painful area for 90 seconds. When finished, remove the hot pad and immediately place the cold pad for 90 seconds. Continue alternating between the pads for 90 seconds each time, for 12 minutes.
- Creams, patches, or gels containing pain-relieving or anti-inflammatory ingredients can provide temporary relief when applied directly to the wrist or thumb. Follow the instructions on the product and consult a pharmacist if necessary.
