✊ Stiff Fingers after Injury ☝

Here's a couple of examples of how we've helped our clients to regain movement in a stiff finger joint after an injury. Removable splints are a simple yet effective method to improve flexibility. By providing gentle, sustained pressure, custom-made splints or elasticised straps can help restore the normal bending and straightening of your finger.

Whether you're experiencing difficulty bending the joint or inability to straighten it fully (or in this case both), consistent use of a well-fitting splint under the guidance of an Accredited Hand Therapist 👩🏻‍⚕️ can help to reduce stiffness over time.

🖐️ Hand & Wrist Strengthening! 💪
Stronger hands start here! 💥

We love using the FlexBar like a big crayon to drag through the hard putty - it's one of our favourites to promote both grip strength and wrist stabilisation, working the whole upper arm!

Using therapy putty for finger resistance and the FlexBar for wrist & forearm control helps rebuild strength, improve grip, and reduce pain — whether you're recovering from injury or just looking to level up.

Come and see us today for help with your hand or wrist issues.

👉 Small tools. Big results.

🧐 Dorsal wrist ganglion research 🙌

Dr Lauren Miller, our accredited hand therapist, is teaming up with other researchers from around the globe 🌎 including lead researcher Dr Thuy Tran (WA), as well as Ms Julianne Howell (USA), Dr Nico Magni (NZ) and Dr Melissa Hirth (VIC) to investigate how hand therapists assess and treat dorsal wrist ganglions.

If you are a hand therapist who has treated a client with a dorsal wrist ganglion in the past two years, and are a member of your National Hand Therapy Association we'd love it if you could please take 10-15 minutes to complete our survey 🫶🙏, and share with others!

Here is the link to complete the survey:

At Bond University this week - teaching the Doctor of Physiotherapy students. We cover hand and wrist anatomy, assessment and treatment over a couple of days.

A big thank you to Assistant Professor Kevin Kemp-Smith who co-ordinates the program, and the whole teaching team including Assistant Professors Emma Murray (pictured), Rowan Pickering and Luke McCarron as well as Adrian Kan for their assistance with the workshops.

We focus on assessment and treatment techniques for the hand and wrist within case studies, and how to apply clinical reasoning in different situations. I am always inspired by the Bond students!
