Happy Hand Therapy Week 2025

🖐️ Hand Therapy Week 2025
📅 June 2 – 8, 2025
🎯 Theme: Workplace Injuries

This Hand Therapy Week, we’re bringing national attention to the vital role of hand therapists in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of workplace injuries to the upper limbs.

🔎 Why it matters
Workplace injuries are a significant issue in Australia — especially to the wrist, hand, and fingers.

📊 Recent statistics reveal:
*The wrist and hand are the most common sites of work-related injury, accounting for 38% of all work-related hospitalisations.
*Fingers or thumbs are involved in 24% of these cases.

These injuries can have lasting impacts on an individual’s quality of life and on the workforce at large.

💡 Key takeaway
An early referral to a qualified Hand Therapist can make the difference between long-term disability and a full return to meaningful work and life. Hand Therapists are uniquely skilled in helping people recover from serious upper limb trauma – from fractures and tendon injuries to nerve damage and overuse conditions.

🏂Winter sports are back 🏑⚽🥶

This is a common time for jarred and broken fingers. Here are some pointers to help get you through the season.

👉 Warm up. Get the body moving and practice a few gentle drills before getting stuck in.

👉 Wear the safety gear ⛑️ Each sport has its own risks. Be sure you minimise the risks to help keep you on the field.

👉 If you get injured, get it seen to! Early treatment will help get you back on the field and reduce the chances of missing the finals. Be sure to give us a call and see if hand therapy is what you need.

👉 Have fun!
