25.01.2022 So who says hand therapy is just for humans? Here is Stella the Samoyed and her custom made carpal support. She is so patient and gorgeous! She may be heading for surgery but hopefully the splint helps in the meantime! It was a joy to help her and her owner!

23.01.2022 Hey! its World left Handers awareness day! Love your lefties and appreciate how wonderful our hands are - right and left!

21.01.2022 "Hands on" therapy is what I use as part of my toolbox of treatments.I believe it is the best way to treat all upper limb conditions. The power of muscle releases, massage and just touch in itself can help people understand their injury and assist in desensitisng the injured part.Dont underestimate its power!

21.01.2022 Pretty nice place for a wedding #Kingsfordhouse #circa1856 #formosawedding2018

19.01.2022 Hear the word arthritis and you may automatically think of hips or knees. Osteoarthritis (OA) at the base of the thumb is just as common, but has not been studied as much. Many people just put up with thumb pain and dont realise there are effective treatments. Splinting to settle the pain and exercises and advice to improve the position of the thumb for everyday activities. Interventions to increase strength can really improve your function. Dont leave your thumbs till they look like this! To make an appt at Mt Barker see the link on this page or call 0417826595. Or call 82118002 for Highgate or Sth Tce.

14.01.2022 Helen is at the National Australian Hand Therapy conference in Brisbane! More learning - always learning!

13.01.2022 Tonight at our bimonthly Australian Hand Therapy Association meeting we were able to try our hand at some fracture fixation!

12.01.2022 Hands are a powerful reminder of who we are - thats why I love treating them. This image is wonderful - the hands of a Granny, gnarly and arthritic but full of character!

12.01.2022 Heading into the weekend - look after your hands! Make sure you use gloves and sharp reliable tools for gardening. Joint protection is important for preventing inflammation and painful hand and thumb joints!

11.01.2022 Reverse mallet finger splint to hold this fracture in flexion for 6 weeks! Lucky his mum is a hand therapist

11.01.2022 Good luck to Josh Scott Glenelg forward in this weekends SANFL grand final. The forearm fracture he sustained earlier in the year and a secondary injury to it nearly meant he would miss out on playing finals. Luckily our hand and upper limb Physiotherapist Helen Burfield was able to make him an arm guard and sleeve to protect the arm from impact. A great performance in the preliminary final including 3 goals shows hes back on track!

10.01.2022 Do you courgette? Dont mind if I do. Im reliably informed we can eat these #freshfromthegarden #lucindaleproduce #heritagezucchini #thanksjimandhelen

09.01.2022 This weekend in Sydney our hand and upper limb physio Helen Burfield is presenting a 2 day course she has written on treating the elbow,to fellow therapists. This is run in association with the Australian Hand Therapy Association and can be used as an elective subject as part of becoming an Accredited Hand Therapist (AHTA) like Helen is! She will present it again in Adelaide in November 2019

09.01.2022 Elbow pain is common! The condition that has historically been known as Tennis elbow is very rarely caused by tennis. Now known as Extensor tendinosis, it is treatable with the right advice, treatment, support and exercises. Our excessive time spent on computers is often to blame now. Dont leave it too long and cortisone is not the answer! Call 0417826595 or use the link to make an appointment.

07.01.2022 Hello and we hope you are staying well! -Be assured that Adelaide Hand and Upper Limb Physiotherapy is complying with the recommendations from the government about COVID-19. - The waiting room at Summit Health is very open and spacious so you can sit the required 2m apart. - We are also happy to text you once we are ready to see you so you can come straight in from your car, just let us know if you would like this service.... - We are practicing all of the required hygiene measures. -There are no recommendations that we need to reduce or cease one-to-one consultations, but if you have any concerns or have been overseas or interstate in the past two weeks or been in contact with a COVID 19 affected person please call our rooms. We look forward to seeing you soon!

07.01.2022 So what is an Accredited Hand Therapist (as awarded by the AHTA)? As of January 1st 2018 - the Australian Hand Therapy Association has changed its membership criteria and I have been part of the team that has developed an accreditation process for full members. This means that a series of examined courses, a minimum number of hours of treating hand and upper limb conditions and a mentorship program is now required to become a full member and call yourself an Accredited Hand Therapist ( as awarded by the Australian Hand Therapy Association). This is a great leap forward and strengthens our association but also make sure that you can be sure that the therapist you are seeing has the skills and expertise to call themselves a hand therapist!

03.01.2022 So just to let you know that we are still here! We are able to see patients who need it and especially if you have had elective surgery cancelled or are in need of assistance with your hand and upper limb injuries and conditions. We are following all the hygiene guidelines and can keep you safe when you visit! Any concerns just call - there are also now Telehealth codes for Private health funds if you would like a consult over video.

02.01.2022 With winter sport just around the corner - a timely reminder about hand and wrist injuries in Aussie Rules. The right treatment is paramount for good long term outcomes. Thats where a hand and upper Limb therapist comes in! https://theconversation.com/aussie-rules-players-risk-injur

01.01.2022 Ok so its a surgeons rap - but if you know any hand anatomy its pretty good and a bit of a laugh. Also recognises how important hand therapists are!

01.01.2022 Remarkable story of Petra Kvitovas recovery from an extremely bad hand injury is inspirational - hands are so much part of our lives and in some cases our livelihood.
