Chronic pain and stiffness can be very limiting. Healing takes place over many months, so even if you have had some therapy there is often more that can be done by you at home over a couple of months. This may require, for example, wearing a splint at night to stretch a tight joint or wearing a compressive glove for a chronically swollen hand that is unable to make a fist.
