Relive Physiotherapy - Hand and Wrist Pain

We use our hands for most activities that we do. It’s why Hand & Wrist pain can make life difficult, especially if it is in your dominant hand. Suddenly the most basic things become really challenging and we realise all the things that we have been taking for granted. Have you ever tried brushing your teeth with the other hand?

Despite popular wisdom, resting the affected side only rarely brings about a positive change.

You might have been to see your GP to get painkillers that have taken the pain away, and you can function OK, but did you know that you’re actually making the issue worse?

People who come to see us at Chester’s Best Physiotherapy Clinic for Hand & Wrist pain, Relive Physiotherapy are confused and don’t know what to do any more. Does this sound familiar?

Does your hand or wrist hurt?

Is it stopping you from doing things that you previously did with ease? Is the pain waking you up in the night?

If the answer to any of these questions is ‘YES’, then you need help.

If you try to rest your hand or wrist, you might actually be doing yourself a disservice. The pain and soreness might feel better, but you will be confronted with a stiffness that you didn’t have before. This is because the hand and wrist are designed to be active and resting them doesn’t make them better.

You find that you can’t work properly, you’ve started avoiding doing things on one side and this can knock your confidence (especially if your injury is on your dominant side).

You can’t even partake in that most British tradition of drinking a cup of tea to make everything OK, because lifting the cup hurts!

If you listen to the advice of non-qualified well-meaning people, then you will never get better and be rid of your pain. If you’ve heard ‘it’s perfectly normal at your age, it’s just a part of ageing’, ‘it’ll get better with rest’, or ‘just visit the doctor and get some painkillers’, then these are all WRONG.

There’s a lot of information out there about hand & wrist pain. In fact, there’s so much it’s overwhelming, and you don’t know what to do, so you do nothing. And that is actually the worst thing that you can do.

Slowly, you start to lose your independence and simple things become harder and this has a knock on effect. You start to become more reclusive and in the end, you’re barely managing. You can’t do all the things you were doing easily before the pain struck. All the hobbies you used to do are not being done.

So what CAN you do?

Make a positive decision. Decide that you are going to get better and give Relive Physiotherapy a call. Taking action is often the hardest thing to do!

Even though you can get pain in one and not necessarily the other,

we often look at the hand and the wrist together as they work in tandem. They allow you to touch things and interact with the world around you.

They are a complicated network of bones (27 of these), muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, arteries and veins which all work together to allow you to control your hand. However, did you know that the muscles in your hand are only partly responsible for the range of motion that you have. The forearm also contributes to this by projecting tendons towards the hand via the wrist.

Considering how much work they do and how often they are used, it’s not surprising that they sometimes need a bit of help when something goes wrong!

Thanks to Raj's excellent care and instruction, my shoulder is continuing to be very much better with greatly improved mobility and no pain. I am very happy to have found an excellent physiotherapist with such a kind, caring and gentle manner. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Relive Physiotherapy to friends and know that I can return with any future problems. Thank you so much for a great service.

Raj has been incredible in aiding my recovery from a car accident, even giving me further advice concerning a separate injury that involved having surgery on my finger. From the beginning he talked through his process as a physiotherapist and together we detailed my injuries and expectations. We discussed how they had immediately effected my daily life and routine so as to better understand how to approach my recovery. At every point Raj explained how my injuries were likely to progress and what I could expect, as well as educating me on how and why they had happened. I have made incredible progress because of seeing Raj and would recommend himself and his practice without hesitation. He's a wonderful man and his help and advice has been fundamental in my recovery. It's fair to say that Raj goes above and beyond for his clients and has been remarkably accommodating during moments I had to adjust my appointment times.

Alexandra Pollitt

I was referred to Raj by my specialist for neck and shoulder treatment. At the time I also had post operative issues with my knees, which were not responding to the physio at the hospital. Not only did Raj fix my neck, shoulders and back, but he fixed my knees too! Oh, did I mention that he is a lovely person, who also knows his stuff. He explains everything he is doing, why and how it works. I can not thank Raj enough for my new found freedom without chronic pain :)

Leana Evanova-Chamberlain

Got referred to Raj with a problem shoulder causing sporadic bouts of intense pain. Raj diagnosed it accurately within a few minutes and treatment was solid throughout with noticeable improvements after each visit. Just signed off with no pain and a slight stiffness left with exercises to get it back to optimal. Raj is very knowledgeable and very friendly - the appointments have been a real pleasure to attend.

Tony Mullen

I’d struggled with my neck and upper back for many months following a car collision. After just a couple of sessions I started to see a huge difference. Raj is extremely professional and has resolved my issues. I’m now pain free after suffering for almost a year. I wish I had been to see Raj earlier but so pleased I finally booked in with him. I would highly recommend anyone with any aches and pains to see Raj. He is friendly, professional and very good at his job! Thanks Raj!

Katie Tushingham

After blocking my shoulder, my movements were very limited and I had so much pain that i couldn't sleep anymore. Being neighbor, I contacted Raj and it is with a lot of kindness that he took care of me. In just 2 sessions, I had no pain at all, and in 4 sessions, I had regained all my mobility. I understood why I was in pain, because Raj explained me each of the movements or methods he used. In short, I can only highly recommend! Thank you very much for your help!

Lauren Merciris

I was recommended by a family member to use Raj after suffering with lower back pain. I am so pleased I went to Raj, he is extremely professional and is very person centred with his level of treatment. After several weeks of attending I no longer suffer with lower back pain. I would highly recommend to anyone who is experiencing similar pain.

Antonia Rob

I cannot recommend Raj at Relive Physio highly enough. After a complex ankle break during the first lockdown, I had some great support from our NHS physios but once the second lockdown started this was changed to telephone support only and my recovery stalled. I was beginning to think that I would forever walk with a limp but Raj set some key milestones and I am back up to my old speed of walking and attending fitness classes normally. Raj is polite; positive and very knowledgeable - definitely recommend!

Sheila Jones

I’ve been treated by Raj for several months with a shoulder rotator cuff issue. Over time with his careful treatment and by following the exercise regime I have now regained full mobility in the shoulder. At all times I have found Raj to be a knowledgeable and understanding practitioner, who has been a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Raj to anyone with similar issues.

Steve Telford

Raj has been great in both the identification of the issue (frozen shoulder), explanation of the problem in non technical terms, physiotherapy treatment, follow up with additional doctors, and exercise advice. After four months my shoulder finally has full mobility. Thanks Raj! Carlo

Carlo Aragno

A painful shoulder that I’ve had for seven years following a fall, finally sorted with just six sessions of physio with Mohana. Friendly reassuring treatment and advice (no heavy lifting!) and the prognosis is good. I can genuinely recommend Mohana and the clinic. My (temporary) nemesis featured below!

Geoff Wellens

How lucky I am to have Relive Physiotherapy on my doorstep in Chester. The clinic is modern and immaculate. You are greeted and offered refreshments upon arrival. All the team are extremely professional and my great fortune is to be treated by the wonderful Mohana Nedunchezian. She is totally expert in her skills. She had diagnosed my knee problems within minutes of the initial consultation. And I honestly have to say after just one treatment the improvement is miraculous. I look forward being pain free from now on with the help of Mohana and Relieve Physiotherapy. Thank you.

Mark Shaw

I would highly recommend Relive Physiotherapy. I was suffering from severe back and hip pain. Mohana has worked wonders. Not only has she helped with my pain, but Mohana and the rest of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I have no hesitation in recommending this practice.

Alix Hyde

Relive Physiotherapy is the best. Mohana has been treating my calf muscle for several months now. She has been very patient, provided the best care and thoroughly explained every stage . Thank you so much Mohana, my leg now feels so much better.

Julie Hall

Coming to the end of my 12 sessions now and i have to say I am amazed at the difference Mohana has made. 2 months ago I was 32 going on 72! I woke up in pain, I hobbled sitting down hurt as did standing up. I thought I had the dreaded sciatica. Mohana expertly identified trauma in my thigh which caused referred pain causing my lower back pain. I now feel like a new man and look forward to exercising again. Very glad I got the gold package it was a great investment in myself. Will recommend!!!

Nick Williams

After an accident in the garden causing pain to lower back and legs I decided to visit Mohana for six sessions and I’ve found the experience to be great, the pain has now gone. Mohana was very professional and caring in her approach making sure the after massage pain was not too much. i would recommend Relive Physiotherapy to anyone instead of suffering weeks of pills and self healing. Many thanks to all the team.

Alan Wilson

I have struggled with debilitating back pain since my teenage years. Over the past 20 years I have visited numerous specialists, surgeons, chiropractors, and other physiotherapists. I have had a number of MRIs and even considered surgery. I was recommended Relive Physiotherapy by a friend and thought I would give it one last attempt before turning to surgery. All Mohana has asked of me is to be consistent and commit to my twice weekly appointments. I am two months into my therapy and have seen major improvements. I now have minimal pain, I can complete the simple tasks that I couldn’t before, like going on a walk, changing the bed, cooking dinner, the list goes on! My quality of life has completely changed! Mohana has not only alleviated the chronic pain I had, but also got to the root of the problem so we now know how to manage this long term; ensuring this isn’t a short-term solution. Relive Physiotherapy is brilliant.

Stephanie Windsor

We were referred to Relive through our health insurance company, to organize treatment for my brother following an injury to his wrist and shoulder. Mohana has been treating him over the past few weeks. There's been significant improvement in his condition. We would definitely recommend anyone needing treatment to try Relive.

Jack McKie

Mohana was very helpful in getting my father back on his feet after a hip injury. She was very professional and caring at the same time. We would highly recommend her.

Amit Phadke

The most powerful, gentle treatment I've ever had. Totally awesome treatment. Very professional and lovely service. Topclass Mohana happy. Kind. Powerful treatment.. can't wait to book more sessions..

heidi rhiann

Shivani is a miracle worker …back to walking 8 miles + without limping and a very sore and swollen ankle for days. All good now with exercises to follow. Thank you :)

Sue Bradley

Absolutely amazing. I had shoulder/arm pain, I was seen by Shivani she did a full assessment and history and diagnosed the problem in the first appointment. I’ve had successful treatments with her since with homework and follow on plan. I felt actually listened to and very well supported with this problem, Shivani is so kind and fabulous at her job. All the staff are so lovely here it has a lovely caring atmosphere. Thank you so much especially to Shivani.

Rebecca Hayward

I have had regular sessions with Shivani after a car accident. She has been amazing! She has carefully explained the whole process to me and made sure that I understand everything that we are going through. She has been such an amazing help during a stressful time for me. I couldn’t recommend her and Relive Physiotherapy anymore.

Sean Moffatt

Brillant physio made a huge impact on my back and taught me tonnes too. Thank you Shivani! ✨

Janet Whiley

A big thanks to Relive for treating my neck injury. Shivani was very knowledgable and helpful. Each session was well structured. Thank you

Connor Mcilwrath

Shivani did a great job working on my knees and shoulder. I would highly recommend this place.

Richard Setters

Visited while working away in Chester Suffering with a bad ankle I limped in and 6 weeks later feeling a lot better Great service and very professional service Ulfah was so easy to talk too and very knowledgeable about my problem and helped me through with great skill and support Thank you would definitely recommend Thank you

mick edmondson

Ulfah is the best!! 🤘 Amazing service, thank you!

Mike Kennedy

Shivani and Ulfah have been brilliant and really helped resolve my painful neck problem to be completely pain free and more mobile.

Andrew Dawson

Gutted not to have been able to give 5* as there are positives; I cannot fault Ulfah and her advice and support she provided me throughout my recovery from injury - thank you. ... However, I am left feeling disappointed with the customer service I received over payment. After trying to claim back my expenses through insurance, I was told Relive had overcharged... This experience has put me off returning, despite the clinical care being excellent.

Rachel Blackett

Ulfah❤️ professional work. Appointment received immediately on the same day🙏In just 3 sessions including exercises to do at home, you relieved my sudden back pain almost 100%. I will now return to Switzerland...

Alexandra S.

I have experienced a recent difficulty with my back and was recommended Relive. I have been totally impressed from the start with their service. There was a very quick response to my call to them and I was able to be seen by someone that day and have had a series of sessions. The receptionist are always helpful and friendly and there is parking on site. Niya Doiphode was the therapist who I saw, she was excellent. Knowledgeable and patient explaining things as she went along and providing useful exercises to follow up with. She quickly put me at ease and I was able to benefit from sessions in terms of reduced pain and greater flexibility. She is always positive, friendly and professional - highly recommend. Thank you

Debbie Wlliams

Niya is a talented physiotherapist who has resolved my hip issues that I have put up with for many years. She has a gentle manner and is skilled in a variety of techniques. I am now pain free and able to sleep. Thank you Niya.

Dna Gruber

Been visiting Niya for just over a month for pains in my foot making it fairly uncomfortable for me to walk and the results have been incredible! I'm confident I'll be back running again soon thanks to the physiotherapy and structured exercises. Everyone here has been polite and professional. I would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Adam Roberts

I highly recommend Niya as a physiotherapist! She helped me tremendously with my elbow and neck pain. Niye is not only incredibly professional but also so friendly and cheerful during every session. She always provides valuable advice on how to manage my condition daily and shares practical tips on how to improve it over time. Thanks to her expertise and positive attitude, I’ve seen significant improvement and feel much more confident about managing my pain. I couldn’t be happier with her care—thank you, Niya!

Erzsébet Bernard

Great service! Niya is absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable. As well as muscular manipulation she gave me an ever increasing list of exercises to do regularly to compliment her treatments and for long term maintenance. All staff were lovely and friendly and parking is on site. Great experience all round. Would definitely recommend! ☆☆☆☆☆

Vicky Owen

Been coming to Niya at Relive Physiotherapy since pulling my back a couple of months back excellent service and my back is feeling 100% better! I have also been provided with various exercises to do to help any aches in my back in between sessions. Highly recommend Niya and Relive Physiotherapy.
