Hand in Hand Rehab

In the new year, we’re excited to be back to doing the things we’re passionate about and helping many with their hand injuries. 🙌🏼

This patient has developed a stiff little finger following a middle phalanx fracture and volar plate tear, which required k-wiring and repair. We made him a customised clam-shell splint to wear in the day to provide a gentle and prolonged passive stretch, which he could also use to promote active IPJ gliding. To correct his DIPJ flexion contracture, we made him a static splint to wear during his sleep.

Watch this space to see his results! 🤓

Shockwave Therapy is beneficial for early onset Dupuytren’s disease where there is formation of nodules/cords, which look like thickening or lumps in the palm. Research shows that Shockwave Therapy can slow down the progression of the disease in the short to medium terms.

4 to 6 weekly sessions are required to see results and patients often report less tightness, and the nodules feel flatter and softer. 🤓

Things that patients do that surprise you 😳

Patients are pretty creative themselves sometimes 😄

“I struggle to open jars”

We hear that too often as hand therapists.

This difficulty is unfortunately common in those with arthritis or weakness in their hands or wrists. However, it doesn’t have to be that way! Hand therapists teach you many ways to improve your hand strength and joint stability, as well as activity modification and use of adaptive aids if necessary (did you know there are automatic jar openers?). 🤔

Say yes to conquering those tight jars! 🤜🏼🏺

This is a question we often get asked by patients!

Bone and soft tissue go through 3 stages of healing - inflammation, proliferation and remodelling. It can generally take about 2 to 3 months for a full recovery; however, this process can often lengthen due to inadequate rest, precautions and loading. That’s why early intervention is crucial. 🤓

If you have an acute hand injury or an injury that doesn’t seem to get better, come to us for the right advice!
