How to massage a sprained hand

Nowadays, many people like to do sports. If they are not well prepared before exercise, it is easy to sprain their hands during exercise. This phenomenon will occur if they use too much force during exercise and their wrists are not flexible. When the wrist is sprained, apply cold compress in time and observe the severity carefully. It is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

How to massage a sprained hand

Do not massage casually after spraining your hand

In fact, it was just an acute sprain at the beginning, but improper massage and kneading made the situation worse and caused joint dislocation. In the acute stage of sprain, the most important thing is to repair the damaged tissue. You can rinse the injured area with cold water or apply ice packs to stop the bleeding within 24 hours, rather than kneading and massaging it vigorously. It is also not suitable to apply blood-activating plasters. Improper kneading and pressing can easily cause fracture displacement and more severe redness and swelling of the locally injured nerves, delaying the best time for treatment.

In fact, exercising is just like wearing clothes. They cannot be too big or too small. The most important thing is to wear clothes that suit you. For young people who have not exercised for a long time, they must first make adequate preparations before exercising, move their bodies around, and avoid sprains. Secondly, they must control the amount and intensity of exercise. Everyone's physique and physical fitness are different, but no matter how much exercise you do, you can recover your physical fitness in time after a good sleep and not feel tired, which means it is basically the right amount. Finally, you must calm down properly after exercise and take a shower immediately after sweating profusely to avoid catching a cold. Because you sweat a lot after exercise and your pores open slightly, it is easy for cold air to invade your body when you take a shower or go out at this time. Traditional Chinese medicine says: "Avoid the wind as you would avoid a sword." The correct way to do it is to wipe off the sweat on your body with a towel after exercise, take a short rest, and then take a shower or go out.
