Why is my hand hurting?

Okay, I don’t know if you all are like me but unfortunately every year I keep getting older! And with each additional year I swear there is a new ache or pain that needs to be addressed. I am currently battling pain in my hand which I feel like isn’t discussed near as often as it should be!

One of the most common reasons for pain in our hand or hands is tendonitis; tendonitis is pretty much a fancy term for inflammation of the fibrous material that attaches your muscle to the bone. Thankfully tendonitis can regularly be treated with stretching and strengthen of the hand muscles, anti-inflammatory methods like ice or over the counter anti-inflammatory medicine, and rest. If you are looking for guidance one of our personal trainers would be happy to help!

I am specifically battling Quervain’s Tendonitis which is commonly called “Mommy Wrist” because the repetitive motions of motherhood can cause inflammation and injury to thumb and wrist area. If this sounds like the pain you are feeling do not ignore it, let’s take the steps to fix the pain TODAY!
