We work closely with many Hand and Orthopaedic Surgeons, hospitals including Gold Coast Private Hospital and Pindara, as well as a wide network of GPs. We treat patients that are privately funded or those under WorkCover, DVA, NDIS or other independent insurers. All our therapists are members of the the Australian Hand Therapy Association (AHTA).

Meaningful activities can play a powerful role in hand therapy. 🎸

In a recent session, we incorporated guitar‑related hand movements as part of task‑specific retraining - reminding us how purposeful activity can enrich the rehab experience.

A special video shared by the family made the moment even more heart‑warming. 💛

Thumb pain after a fall or sudden force?

It could be an injury to your Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) - often known as Skier’s Thumb or Gamekeeper’s Thumb. ⛷️

This ligament helps keep your thumb stable, and when it’s pulled too far to the side, it can become stretched, partially torn, or even completely torn.

While skiing is a well‑known cause, UCL injuries can happen in many everyday situations, from a simple fall to any moment the thumb gets forcefully pushed away from the hand.

Common signs include pain, swelling, bruising, or difficulty gripping and completing tasks like turning a key or tying shoelaces. If that sounds familiar, our team can help.

GC Hand Therapy provides assessment, advice, and treatment options tailored to your injury and goals.

"Boxer's Knuckle"🥊 What is it, and what can be done about it?

Boxer's Knuckle, AKA, sagittal band ruptures, can look and feel like difficulty straightening your finger.

So, what's happening?
Basically, the structure's which stabilise tendons over the back of your knuckles and prevent them from slipping, slips away sideways when ruptured.

The good news - If the injury occurred recently, we can help with an accurate assessment and personalised treatment plan, which includes a relative motion splint, allow you to use your hand for light activities while the band heals.

If you think you might have Boxer's Knuckle, or any other injury to your hand, wrist, elbow or shoulder, give a call on (07) 5500 5617
