A sprain to the joint at the base of your thumb is a common injury associated with ball sports, contact sports and extreme sports like snowboarding, skiing and mountain biking.

Usually one or more of the ligaments around the joint are stretched to their limit. Sometimes this results in a partial or complete tear of that ligament or the bone where the ligament attaches breaks.

Mild strains to partial tears or small fractures can be managed with a splint like this one. Complete tears or large fractures will require the opinion of a surgeon but should still be protected in a splint.

If you or someone you know has injured their thumb call us on 3396 7798 or book online at www.baysidehandtherapy.com.au

Buckle (torus) fractures are a common wrist injury in kids after a fall. They’re very stable and usually heal in just 3–4 weeks with a comfortable removable splint rather than a bulky plaster cast.

This splint can be removed for hygiene purposes and are much more comfortable and easy to manage, you can even swim in them.

If you need a splint for your child's buckle fracture call us on 3396 7798 or book online at baysidehandtherapy.com.au

Inter-X electrical neurostimulation is another tool we use to help reduce pain and support faster recovery from upper limb injuries. This gentle, non-invasive treatment delivers targeted electrical impulses through the skin, which can help calm irritated nerves and improve local circulation so you can move more comfortably.

Inter-X is often used together with manual therapy, exercises, and splinting to make it easier to start using your hand again in everyday tasks. Your therapist will tailor the settings and treatment area to your specific injury and goals, so it fits seamlessly into your overall rehab plan.

If you are interested in Inter X therapy for your treatment, call us on 3396 7798 or book online at baysidehandtherapy.com.au

Therapeutic ultrasound is one of the tools used at Bayside Hand Therapy to support faster recovery from upper limb injuries. It uses high-frequency sound waves to create gentle tissue vibration and mild warmth, which can increase local blood flow, ease stiffness, and support healing when paired with the right rehab plan.​ Ultrasound is always combined with targeted exercises, education, and custom splints—never as a stand-alone fix—so your treatment is tailored to your specific injury and goals.​
