🏀🏏🏉 GETTING BACK TO SPORT ?

🏀👉Custom sports splints are low profile splints, and can be taped in place to provide support to the injured area during play. They allow full function, while still providing protection from re-injury.

🫸Weight Bearing after wrist injury?🫷

Getting back to weight bearing activities after wrist injuries can be challenging.
End of range wrist extension places a lot of load through the wrist joint and soft tissues.

✅Your Hand Therapist can guide you on simple activity modifications to assist with getting back to work and social activities such as yoga and pilates painfree.

👋WAGS gloves are one simple and effective tool to reduce load through the wrist. With a slim line wedge in the palm, they still allow good grip and function. WAGS gloves are perfect for getting back to weight bearing activities comfortably.

🌟 Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? We Can Help! 🌟

Do you wake up at night with pins and needles in your fingers? Or experience a “dead hand” while sleeping, or holding your hand in one position for too long during the day? These could be signs of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, including:

👉 Pins & needles
👉 Pain
👉 Numbness
👉 Weakness
👉 Clumsiness in your fingers and thumb

While the thumb, index, and middle fingers are most commonly affected, symptoms can sometimes be more widespread.

🤔 Wondering if you have it? A Hand Therapist can assess your hand and arm to check for nerve compression at the carpal tunnel or other areas in the arm. We’ll also look for underlying causes such as tendon inflammation, arthritis, or poor ergonomics.

Treatment options include:
✔️ Splinting
✔️ Exercises
✔️ Manual therapy
✔️ Activity modifications & ergonomics

🌱 The earlier you get treatment, the better the results! Call us today for a full assessment and personalised treatment plan.
