What’s in our bag? Summer hand therapy edition ☀️👜
A few essentials for keeping your hands and splints happy as the weather warms up!

From custom splints and therapy tools to SPF, hand moisturiser and a little towel, we’re packing for a summer of hand care. 🧡
A few reminders for the warmer months:

☀️ Keep thermoplastic splints away from heat and direct sunlight, especially hot cars.
💧 Keep your skin clean and dry, particularly when wearing a splint.
🧴 Don’t forget SPF on your hands and moisturiser for dry skin after prolonged time in water. 
🤲 Keep up with your prescribed rehabilitation exercises.

Every hand therapy journey is different, so your summer essentials might look a little different too!

Pain at the base of your thumb? It might be more than just everyday wear and tear. 🖐️

Thumb base arthritis, also known as 1st CMC joint osteoarthritis, can make simple tasks like opening jars, turning keys or gardening feel increasingly difficult.

While thumb arthritis can’t be cured, there are ways to manage symptoms and support everyday hand function through splinting, tailored exercises and joint protection strategies.

In our latest blog, Ojas Bhardwaj takes a closer look at thumb base arthritis, what to look out for and how hand therapy can help. 🧡

It’s World Arthritis Day 🖐️

Arthritis in the hands can show up in different ways, and it isn’t always just pain. You might notice stiffness when you wake up, swelling around the joints, reduced movement or an ache that becomes more noticeable after using your hands.

These changes can start to make everyday things like opening jars, typing or gardening feel a little more difficult.

This World Arthritis Day, we’re highlighting some of the signs to look out for and when it might be worth getting your hands checked.

Recovering from a thumb CMC joint arthroplasty? 🖐️

You don’t necessarily need to wait until you can attend an appointment in person to start getting support. Depending on your surgeon’s protocol and your individual recovery, many patients may benefit from connecting with a hand therapist within the first few weeks after surgery.

Telehealth appointments can provide guidance around post-operative precautions, swelling, splint care and the gradual return of movement and function, all from home. 🏡

As your recovery progresses, your hand therapist can continue to guide your rehabilitation and adjust your exercises along the way.

That “it’ll probably go away” feeling… we’ve all been there. 🖐️

Maybe it’s wrist pain that keeps coming back, a finger that still doesn’t move quite like it used to, or fingers that keep turning white in the cold. Sometimes, it’s worth finding out what’s actually going on rather than continuing to work around it.

If something doesn’t feel quite right with your hand or wrist, our team is here to help. 🧡

Rehabbing after a wrist injury? What you do during recovery can make a big difference.

In Part 1, Seb, Physiotherapist and Practitioner in Hand Therapy, talks through wrist rehabilitation and what to consider as you work towards getting back to everyday movement and activity.

Every wrist injury and recovery is different, so your rehabilitation should always be guided by your treating hand therapist.

Stay tuned for Part 2. 🖐️🧡
