The Benefits of Hands Free
There is nothing worse than having loose hands. You know, that feeling where you feel as if the simplest tasks become ten times harder or frustrating due to those aches and pains your feeling in those little things.
Gripping door handles, picking things, pushing yourself up off a chair or or even shaking hands can feel like a battle sometimes! What if told you there was a way to fix this quite easily.. or at least improve it by a fair amount.
As a combat sports athlete, I know all about hand injuries and how frustrating they can be. I had to stop my training, many recreational activities and avoid things in my daily routine which impacted my overall mood and quality of living. Here at My Vitality Physio, we’re all about high performance living! And our team specialises in a range of wrist/hand conditions and uses the most evidence-based techniques often using in sport/rehab to combat these issues. The incorporation of strength, mobility and hand wrapping techniques have helped countless of patients not only perform well in the gym so that they can feel a whole lot better outside of here, but also with completing their daily activities stress and pain free! These small structures in our hands and wrists can be more susceptible to injury with the nature of their anatomy but with the proper training and intervention we can negate the risks and get you back on track!
