Who else gets sore hands (or wrists) and wants and easy fix?
Do you ever find at the end of a hard day you have sore thumbs or wrists and lacking the knowledge or energy to fix them?
Perhaps you are starting to worry about how long you will be able to maintain your level of work if you don't find an effective way to take the pain away.
Let me tell you my secret for keeping the pain out of my hands for over 10 years now. I have been using a TENS/ EMS machine called a Sportsmed Micro rechargeable and it works better than any other method I know of. This is exciting because it is the simplest way by far to keep your hands and wrists feeling loose and pain free (or taking away pain you have.) And that means you can handle more work and never need to take time off because of sore hands or wrists.
The Sportsmed Micro is not just a TENS machine but one that is also an Electric Muscle Stimulator that can exercise your muscles. You might have experienced one during a physiotherapy appointment; They call it an interferential machine.
Basically you use it by putting two reusable sticky gel pads onto your muscles and turning it on whilst you sit back and relax.
It stimulates your muscle(s) making them contract and relax, or exercise. It is fantastic for releasing chronic tightness or exercising the tightness from weak muscles, making a joint feel loose and pain free again. It is a very portable devise (smaller than a matchbox), and the only one worth getting operates with a rechargeable battery.
The new, digital, personal model comes with
1 x Sportsmed micro™ Micro-pulse generator unit
1 x Pair of Pre-Gelled self-adhesive disposable electrodes
1 x Pair of Silicon rubber muscle stimulation electrodes
1 x Tube of conductivity gel
2 x Safety treatment cables
1 x EziStim® battery charger
1 x Sportsmed micro™ user's guide
I have used one of these devices for years to work on my own body whilst I relax in front of TV. I have a personal model which I have described but also a practitioner model that has 4 leads and 8 sticky pads but I will tell you about that model a little later.
When you place the pads on the right muscles and exercise them for 30 minutes before bed, you wake up in the morning feeling loose and pain free, without fail. For treating the hands and wrists the two pads are perfect and you can do one arm at a time. It gets your whole hand and lower arm jumping and jiving away and you can literally feel the tightness and soreness melting away.
The best news is that private health funds in Australia (when you have top cover) rebate up to 85% of the cost of these machines, and sometimes more, often without you losing a benefit from any other services. That means if you are rebated for one you don't lose the benefit from any other services. It depends on the fund and the cover and some of them will require a letter from your doctor saying you need a TENS machine but others simply require you to submit your invoice for the rebate.
I checked out the larger funds in Australia and this is what i was told.
HCF rebate $170 if
you are in their mutlicover level.
MBF pay various amounts depending on your cover.
Medibank Private, you can claim under your package bonuses, the amount depends
on the time in the fund.
Man Unity, under top 2 extras cover you can claim $250.
NIB allow a claim of $190.
Most funds require a letter from your doctor which is easy to get and as you
can see they rebate most if not all of the cost.
Traditionally a TENS machine is used as a drug free way of relieving pain by placing the pads around the painful area and having the trickling current running. They prove very effective for some people. The device I am talking about, a Sportsmed micro rechargeable system, has the EMS system built in making it much better than a TENS machine alone. If you know where to place the pads you can use it to fix pain (that's right not just relieve but fix it).
The cost of this little wonder devise is AUD$239.50 plus $9 express postage in Australia And remember if you are in a health fund you get the rebate off that price. Plus as a therapist, of course any remaining cost is tax deductible.
Anyone who buys one from me will receive an email with instructions on where exactly to place the pads to treat your hands and wrist pain. Using it on other areas of the body, (even though it is a bit slow because it only has the two pads,) is possible and my training program makes knowing how to do that easy.
