โœจ Warm relief for sore, stiff hands. โœจ

Paraffin wax therapy is a gentle heat treatment that can help reduce pain and stiffness, improve circulation, and prepare your hands for therapy or exercise. It's commonly used for people with arthritis, hand injuries, or anyone experiencing reduced hand mobility.

Watch our quick video to see how the treatment worksโ€”from dipping your hand in the warm wax to enjoying the soothing benefits.

If you're wondering whether paraffin wax therapy could be part of your treatment plan, our team at Geelong Hand Therapy is here to help.

๐Ÿคฑ World Breastfeeding Week | 1โ€“7 August
Breastfeeding and caring for a newborn can place extra strain on your hands and wrists. If you're experiencing pain around the thumb or wrist, it could be De Quervain's tenosynovitisโ€”often referred to as "mother's thumb."

The good news? Early assessment and treatment can help reduce pain and make everyday tasks like feeding, lifting, and cuddling your baby more comfortable.

โ„๏ธ Feeling stiffer this winter? You're not imagining it.

Cold weather can make hand and wrist joints feel stiffer, especially if you have arthritis, a previous injury, or are recovering from surgery.

Here are 3 simple tips to help keep your hands moving:
๐Ÿงค 1. Keep your hands warm
Wear gloves outdoors and warm your hands before activities to help reduce stiffness.
โœ‹ 2. Start the day with gentle movement
Open and close your fists, make wrist circles, and gently stretch your fingers to get your joints moving.
๐Ÿ’ช 3. Keep moving throughout the day
Regular movement helps reduce stiffness. Even a few minutes of gentle exercises or stretching can make a difference.

If hand or wrist stiffness is affecting your daily activities, a hand therapist can assess your symptoms and provide personalised strategies to help you move more comfortably.
