Wrist range of motion exercises are movements and stretches that bend and straighten the joints of the fingers, thumb, and wrist. These exercises help improve mobility, reduce stiffness and swelling, and support the full range of movements needed for everyday activities.

Below are some basic exercises to help with your range of motion in your fingers & wrists. If you have an injury please discuss specific exercises with your hand therapist. If you feel pain, you should stop the exercises and book an appointment to discuss further.

☀️ 🌡️ The weather is warming up (finally!) and it's the time for waterproof casts!

We apply waterproof fibreglass casts all year round, but we definitely see an increase in the summer season. These casts are more lightweight than a traditional plaster cast, and the waterproof underlining means you can shower, bathe and swim completely as normal! 🌊

Don't let a broken wrist hold you back this summer, call us on 5221 7171 for an appointment or book online

Happy Saturday! ☀️

Here's an example of one of our custom made thermoplastic splints, made for a young chap yesterday who has 3rd and 4th metacarpal fractures. For these fractures, the metacarpophalangeal joints are placed in flexion to lengthen the ligaments around the joint, minimising stiffness and to reduce deforming forces at the fracture sites. He picked bronze for his splint colour and we love it! 👌🏻

What is therapeutic ultrasound?
Ultrasound is a treatment method that uses sound waves and heat to promote healing in the soft tissues. Hand therapists use ultrasound to help break down scar tissue, increase blood flow & relieve pain.

A hand-held wand vibrates at high frequencies, creating sound waves causing the cells in your soft tissue to vibrate. This generates heat and increases blood flow in the area. A coupling gel is used with the wand to help transmit the sound waves from the ultrasound head to the skin.

Conditions Ultrasound can be used for:
• Scar management
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Tendonitis
• Chronic Pain

Today is World Diabetes Day

Did you know that people with diabetes are 10 times more likely to develop trigger finger or thumb?

Trigger finger is inflammation around the tendons to your fingers or thumb. Tendons are held in place on the bones by a series of ligaments called pulleys. This often causes the affected finger to become “locked” in a flexed position.
