This week is NAIDOC Week, a time to honour and elevate Indigenous voices, culture and resilience. The 2025 theme, ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy’ recognises the achievements of both the past and future and honours both the legacy of our Indigenous ancestors and the strength and vision of our present communities and young leaders.

As a healthcare provider, EKCO Hand Therapy recognises the importance of understanding the culture and history of all communities in which we operate. We encourage our patients and therapists alike to take time this week to learn, reflect and engage with the stories and cultural contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

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!
