What to do if massage therapist & wrists hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest, NSAIDs: Tendinitis is common in massage therapists . Icing before and after can help, but topical,NSAIDs like Pennsaid or Voltaren gel are better. Try to,learn different techniques is massage to rest your irritated areas or you will continue to suffer. I am not a fan of injections unless there is a specific joint involved. Stem cell therapies are new and potentially helpful but. Not covered by insurance.
