Equal parts learning and fun! 🙌

Great food, incredible company, breathtaking mountain views, and outstanding education at the annual BC Hand Society Conference in Whistler, BC.

A highlight of the weekend was learning from visiting surgeon-scientist Dr. Sanjeev Kakar from the Mayo Clinic, who shared his expertise in wrist arthroscopy and the latest advancements in the field.

Now for the important question... did anyone actually get a photo of him? 😂📸

Tiny but effective ✨

This custom button hole splint helps support PIP hyperextension and swan neck deformities while still being lightweight enough for daily wear.

🌱 Spring Gardening Shouldn’t Hurt Your Hands

Getting back into the garden after winter feels great-but your hands, wrists, and forearms might not be fully ready yet. Here’s how to protect them this season 👇

🌿 1. Warm up first
Do gentle wrist circles, finger stretches, and light gripping before you start.
🌿 2. Watch your grip
Avoid squeezing tools too tightly—keep your grip relaxed to reduce tendon strain.
🌿 3. Use ergonomic tools & gloves
Cushioned handles + supportive gloves = less stress on your joints and better control.
🌿 4. Pace yourself
Break up longer gardening sessions and give your hands time to rest and recover.
🌿 5. Don’t ignore early pain

Stiffness or aching is a warning sign- address it early before it becomes a bigger issue.
Your hands do the planting, creating, and connecting- take care of them so they can keep up all season long 🌸

Broken hand in the morning, flight to London in the afternoon… and only 10 minutes to find a brace 😳✈️

We squeezed Michael in over lunch to make a quick custom splint—and got him to the airport on time 🙌

He went on to run the London Marathon with a record breaking 59,829 runners and finished in 4:33:38 🏃‍♂️

Safe to say… worth it. 👏

Congratulations, Michael! We’re so glad we could help you make it to the starting line.
