Without Taking Painkillers
If you get injured whilst at work, it feels like a huge setback. Especially if you are self-employed. You were just doing your job, and then the injury hit. Now, you are probably in pain, feeling stiff, certainly not moving as freely as you were, and your injury is preventing you from doing your job properly.
At Relive Physiotherapy in Chester, we know this all too well as our clients with work-based injuries tell us this all the time.
REST is a vital part of recovery, but it isn’t everything. Let us help!
- There is so much information available about Work-Based Injuries and even more advice on what you should be doing to recover. Sadly, a lot of this is conflicting which leaves you feeling confused and looking for proper answers. This is the situation in which many of the Clients who come to the Relive Physiotherapy Clinic in Chester with a work-based injury find themselves.
- You may have been told by a colleague, ‘It’s probably nothing, so it’ll go with a bit of rest’, ‘if it still hurts in a day or two, just get some painkillers while it heals’ or ‘see how you feel in a few days’. All of this advice is well-meant, but after days, weeks, months (and sometimes even years), the problems are still there, NOTHING has changed, and the condition may have even worsened. The painkillers took away the pain but didn’t heal the injury. Once they are finished, the pain comes back. Rest can help, but it won’t address the cause of the pain.
- The most important thing to do when you have a work-based injury is the right thing. But what EXACTLY is that and who can tell you this? A trained professional who can assess the extent of your injury and design a bespoke plan to get you on the road to recovery. If you are in pain, it will start to intrude into your daily life, stopping you from even doing simple things such as tying your laces, brushing your teeth, looking after your children, or getting out of a chair. ‘Getting older’ does not mean bowing to the inevitable and just living with your pain.
