Managing pain with EKCO Hand Therapy

Living with pain can impact every part of your life — but you don’t have to manage it alone. At EKCO Hand Therapy, our highly skilled hand therapists work as part of multi-disciplinary teams to support and manage all types of pain manifestations.

By combining their deep understanding of muscle function with expertise in compression dressings and garments, our practitioners can clinically assess and tailor the most effective treatment options for you.

Let us help you move towards comfort and better function. Learn more about our approach to pain management here:

Pain may be sudden, sharp and acute (severe) or dull and chronic (persists for a long period of time). In most instances, pain is associated with underlying nerve irritation/compression or tendon/muscle/joint inflammation.

Managing swelling (oedema) is a key part of effective hand therapy!

After an injury to the hand or arm, swelling is a natural part of the healing process, it is your body sending help to the injured area. But when swelling sticks around too long, it can slow down recovery, reduce movement, and increase stiffness.

EKCO Hand Therapy, our experienced team understands how important oedema management is for healing. With the right techniques, we can help reduce swelling and get you back to doing what you love.

Visit us: https://www.ekco.com.au/locations or give us a call to book your next consultation.

Whether you are recovering from surgery, an injury, or ongoing inflammation, we are here to support your hand and upper limb recovery.

Need help strengthening your hands? EKCO Hand Therapy is here for you! 🖐️

As members of the Australian Hand Therapy Association (AHTA), our accredited therapists specialise in evidence-based hand therapy programs tailored to your needs.

Hand strengthening exercises are vital for improving grip, pinch strength, and finger dexterity, especially after injury, surgery, or repetitive strain. We use proven techniques guided by the Australian Hand Therapy Association, including:

- Grip strengthening: squeeze therapy putty or a stress ball
- Pinch strengthening: pick up small objects like coins or pegs
- Finger isolation and tapping: boosts coordination and dexterity
- Hand opening and closing: strengthens finger flexors and extensors
- Thumb and finger stretches, lifts, squeezes: targets individual digit control
- Wrist flexion, extension and circles: improves mobility and strength
- Progressive resistance: we will help you start safely and build strength gradually for long-term results.

If you are recovering from an injury, managing arthritis, or simply want to improve hand function, you are in safe hands with EKCO!
