TO ALL ARTISTS (*DIGITAL ESPECIALLY) WITH WRIST PAIN:

These guys are the real deal. If you're struggling with chronic wrist or elbow pain that doesn't get better with rest, please consider giving this program a try. I'm an animator and toy designer in the toy industry and I needed help. I sustained a catastrophic wrist injury in 2018 that stayed with me for 8 years. The program at 1HP is the only thing in 8 years that's helped after exhausting my options with other medical professionals, physical therapists, psychologists, accupuncturists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and other professionals.

When I finally got my dream job designing toys, I reached my wrist's limit in only 3 months and had to take medical leave to heal. The wrist specialist I was seeing at USC at the time recommended 4 weeks of rest, ice, and lite physical therapy.

I'd been through that treatment plan twice before, and was worse off for it both times, so I sought a second opinion. Through recommendations on reddit and youtube, I found 1HP. They had glowing reviews from other artists, musicians, game devs, programmers, and gamers. My work has be sit at a desk on the computer all day, so I really related to the life experiences of their other patients and really felt like they had a good chance of helping me.

I checked out their youtube page, where they put out an enormous library of free resources. I HIGHLY recommend you check that out and read up on their philosophy and approach, because their dedication to their research on RSI's and science-backed treatment plans is what really sold me on their program.

I booked the free consultation and met with Elliot, who tested my endurance with a 4lb weight and showed me exactly where my limits were in terms of the endurance of my tendons and muscles in my wrist. He was the first medical professional to tell me that I could heal with some time and dedication, and that everything I'd experienced thus far was reversible. I was relieved. So so so relieved I can't even tell you. Most doctors up to this point had told me I was better off giving up my dreams and switching careers to avoid the pain.

What I love most about this program is their wholistic approach to healing. There's recommended reading to help you better understand what's going on in your body and mind, physical exercises, perscribed specific exercises to help you gain your specifically lost abilities back, and guided CBT exercises to help battle fear and tend to the psychological effects of losing abilities that are important to your daily function and health of your identity as a creative who uses their hands.

I went from 45% function to 75% function in 6 weeks. I hope to be at 100% function in 6-8 more weeks. Most people take a bit longer, because my RSI wasn't super severe (even though I felt like it was!), so please work that into your expectations to set yourself up for success, but the bottom line is that their approach worked for me, and if you're an artist it could work for you too.

The path to healing isn't linear. I experienced two setbacks with flare-ups that filled me with doubt and fear, but 1HP provides an entire guide to flare-ups that got me through them and kept me on track to healing. Investing the time and money I spent on this program turned my life around. I would still be on medical leave from work (and considering a career change) if I hadn't found this program when I did.

If you're an artist, and you suffer with repeated pain in your wrist or elbow, please consider 1HP to help you.

it takes more than you think to live with RSI, and they are the right perfect team to help you through it.

Between playing piano and playing video games, I developed a repetitive strain injury in my wrists so severe I could barely tie my own shoes. Regular doctors were no help. In fact, some of the interventions I was told to do made the problem worse. I was eventually placed on medical leave for 12 weeks when I was struggling to hold the tools I needed to do my job, and until I found 1-HP, I was legitimately concerned my career was over.

Within 4 weeks of working with the 1-HP physical therapists, my wrists were healthy enough to return to work. It took a few more months of exercises to get to where I barely noticed my wrist pain anymore, but I eventually got there.

1-HP saved my career. They'll give you the education, the motivation, and the exercises to fix your pain. They're not some quick fix quack operation. Their methods for fixing repetitive strain injury takes work and consistency, but it works!

Super dedicated people, high prices, troubleshooter could be better designed, right now it’s almost extended excel sheet. Other than that who else provides and started this thing? 1HP So hands down.

A summary of qualities in order of importance, IMO: scientifically informed/evidence based on pain science, experience and history working specifically with hand and wrist issues for musicians and gamers (I found other physios who were many of these things but didn't have experience with hand issues specifically), and to top it off, amazingly helpful and generous physios with an active, helpful Discord and boatloads of free education resources.

I appreciate that they have lower-tiered pricing as well; if I couldn't have gotten the wrist AI troubleshooter for $50-80ish I likely wouldn't have gotten involved. Often times these solutions seem to exist but have a relatively high paywall. There is absolutely a place for personalized, detailed tracking and coaching, and I think it would be worth it for people whose jobs are in jeopardy due to issues, but for many average users the available educational resources plus some exercises and guidelines are enough, and these were well worth the cost.
