Progress isn't always a straight path; sometimes it curves and dips. In hand therapy, we see amazing transformations, but healing is a journey, not a race. Every small step forward is a victory! 🌟

If you’re feeling discouraged, remember that setbacks build resilience. Celebrate your milestones and trust the process. You’re not alone.💪

Arthritis can significantly impact hand function, leading to pain and reduced mobility. In hand therapy, there are a number of things that we can do to help reduce pain, and protect the affected joints.

Treatment options can include; custom splinting, compression gloves, heat packs and wax baths, and education around your type of arthritis, and providing customised therapy plans so you can continue to do what you love.

There are also surgical options for arthritis, which your therapist can discuss with you during your consultation.

The mirror box is a tool that can be used to help treat pain.

Sometimes, with an injury, your brain is telling you and your body that it is still in pain, even after the structural damage from your injury has healed.

You put your affected hand into the mirror box, with your unaffected hand outside. Your therapist will guide you through movements to perform with both hands. As a result, overtime you will trick your brain into thinking your affected hand is okay! This can take time, and your therapist may provide other exercises or treatments in addition to this therapy. 🖐

Nerve compression in the hand and arm can lead to discomfort and loss of function.

Any injury or long-term compression to these nerves can result in altered sensation or reduced power in the hand or arm. Nerves most commonly incur injury or compression when running through tunnels, over bones or between muscles.

It is important to identify which nerve and which area of the body the nerve is being compressed to target exercises and therapy. Your therapist will perform special tests which target different nerves and muscles to identify the injury and impact.

Hand therapy for nerve compression injuries can include:
🖐Splinting
🖐Nerve gliding exercises
🖐Massage or stretching tight muscles
