Our family has quite a bit of hypermobility, including my husband and potentially our kiddos. My husband has a lot of chronic dislocating of his thumb joint and lately I’ve been having some luck using to maintain a stable position. For those looking for additional options, this technique has been super helpful for him so I wanted share an additional tool!

I have this and other recommended tools linked in my bio!

A question I often get is “do I need to wear splints all the time?” And my answer is We don’t always need to use splinting but sometimes it can be extremely beneficial, especially if we are using our hands for applying pressure like a manual therapist might do. Sometimes i recommend wearing splints during work related tasks and other times I recommend wearing them outside of work related tasks! Finding the best support for each patient looks different and does require collaboration! Whether it’s strength training, splinting, ergonomics, or activity modification, is an amazing profession with knowledge to support you in your journey!

Another one of my favorite ways to improve the strength of the thumb is by giving it support! If our joints are unstable and easy sublux, I can be challenging to utilize our strength and power. When we can support an unstable joint and improve the mechanics of the hand, our abilities can massively improve!

I’d love to continue to share products to support your hand needs! Let me know what other challenges you’re facing and let’s figure it out!

When it comes to hand supports, there are quite a few options out there. One of my favorite recommendations is and the wide range of supportive splints! When working with the and communities, we are often recommending supports to offload the stressors on the body and to bring safety back to the joints! I love how these splints can provide that input to the joints of the hands, which is often our first connection to the external world!

This weekend I’m at the conference and connecting with fellow practitioners to continue to share and learn together!

The work of receiving can be very challenging. I know it can feel more comfortable, giving providing caring for others, but I want to encourage you to take the moments that you have to receive, to be supported, to be nurtured, to be careful for and harness that power for self rejuvenation.

Supporting elbow hyperextension can be challenging!! I have been trying out different techniques to find one that is easy to self apply and supports the elbow well! Here I am using to actually cue the elbow into slight flexion. When we can use proprioceptive and sensory queuing to the body, we can get low load response that can give us the subtle support that we need.

How to self apply:

💡Precut I-band at 10 inches.

💡Tear the paper part about an inches down on either side.

💡Remove one end of the paper and at proximal biceps with no tension.

💡Remove middle paper and pull at 50% tension towards elbow crease.

💡Remove last piece of paper and place on with no tension.

When we utilize support, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing! I like to mix up the type of support I receive depending on the activity I’m doing! For instance, when I’m using my hand for a lot of gripping, carrying, or squeezing it feels really good to use my MCP splint! It keeps my thumb out of painful positions and gives me just the amount of cueing I need!! If you’re looking to learn more about how splints or other devices can support your body, comment below!

It can be really hard to sustain what some would call “good posture” all day. Building endurance in our postural muscles can be challenging for a lot of people and takes quite a bit of conscious awareness. As an occupational therapist, I am super passionate about having tools and our tool kit that can support us in many different activities and situations we might find ourselves in. A postural support garment that I have been super thankful for is the ! The input that it provides to my nervous system feels like just the support I need during long days on my computer.

Shoulder position is something we can think about throughout our days! Building endurance is a great place to begin and as we begin to develop our focus to make adjustments, we can progress into strengthening this muscles!

Some of my favorite, simple exercises for the hand are called tendon glides. For the hand, they can really enhance which is a fancy word for knowing where your body is at in space! This can be really challenging for a person with hypermobility, so any practice can be helpful!!

Adding resistance is a way to develop more strength and doing with someone adds more joy!
