Did you know that we can help with scar management?

Scars can become quite sensitive and raised from an injury. Common workplace injuries can often involve a laceration, crush or operation that may result in scarring.

Did you know that we make thermoplastic splints?

Often plaster casts can be quite bulky and difficult to manage when they are not waterproof.

A thermoplastic splint can provide a lighter, waterproof and breathable option for patients who require one.

⭐️ Hand Therapy Week 2025 ⭐️

This week we celebrate Hand Therapy week from the 2nd - 9th of June.

This year’s theme is workplace injuries.

Unfortunately, finger and hand injuries are the most common type of work-related injury in Australia.

Workplace injuries to the hand and upper limb can be caused by:
💻 Poor hand ergonomics
⚠️Mechanical hazards
🪜Environmental hazards
🧼 Skin irritants.

A hand therapy practitioner is a Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist with expertise in the finger, hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder.

Our goal is to aid in helping patients regain their strength, range of motion and function to therefore be able to complete their daily activities of living and return to work.

This week we will be posting about what we doing Hand Therapy!

⭐️ What is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? ⭐️

The ulnar nerve travels along the inside of the arm and becomes very superficial at the elbow as it passes through the cubical tunnel. This area is more commonly known as the ‘funny bone’.

The ulnar nerve gives sensation to the little finger and half of the ring finger, along with controlling most of the little muscles in the hand.

Most commonly this nerve is compression around the elbow, particularly with sustained elbow flexion or extension, leaning on the elbow and poor sleeping posture overnight.
