25.01.2022 Hand and wrist injuries can get in the way of the things that bring you joy as well as those tasks that help you get through the week. We get that. We really understand how important painfree functional use of the hand is..... and we work to help you reach your goals. This week we have been helping people do more gardening, return to crochet, get back to the gym, make school lunches without pain, increase their hours at work, and hold their reading book for longer.

23.01.2022 We see a lot of painful thumbs! The joint at the base of the wrist is commonly affected over time by arthritic wear and tear changes, or an instability from ligaments and muscles that become unbalanced. We use our thumbs ALL the time and when they are painful.... it can really impact the ability to do what we need to do in life - the things that make up our daily routines, but also the things we love and enjoy. Our therapy addresses pain reduction, supporting the joint with splints and tape, and using an individualised exercise program to improve strength and use of the hand.

18.01.2022 Just had surgery and feeling uncomfortable? We share some things that might be helpful to avoid pain and discomfort from developing. Seek good advice from your hand therapist and surgeon before getting too excited about exercise... just to make sure the right muscles and joints are moving. https://www.healthnest.com.au//5waystohelpreduceyourhandan
