Hand, Wrist and Arm Therapy
P: 02 6925 0157
Wondering if we can help?
We see a range of clients who need assistance recovering from hand, wrist and arm injuries. Some injuries are painful, some are recent, some are old injuries (yes, we can still help!), and some have needed surgery and go on to have post op therapy care with us.
Common hand, wrist and arm conditions and injuries that we see include:
Broken bones
Fractures are breaks in the bones. Yes, a broken bone is a fracture! The most common are fractures of the distal radius (largest forearm bone) and the finger bones.
Workplace injuries and overuse
In our local area, work place injuries to hands and wrists unfortunately happen. We are here to get you back on track and help you return to work safely.
Post op hand and wrists
In therapy we will often remove your post op dressings, look after your wound, and start therapy under the guidance of your surgeon. It is a team effort!
Carpal tunnel
Symptoms include tingling in the thumb, index and middle fingers, sometimes associated with pain, and dropping items due to lack of sensation.
Finger joint injuries
These are common! They can involve a dislocation, a break in the bone, or disruption to the tendon and joint ligaments. Swelling is often present and this persistent swelling can cause stiffness and limit recovery.
Scar Tissue
Scar tissue can stick to other tissues in the body, such as nerves, tendons, skin and ligaments, which then affects those structures abilities to move and work effectively.
Trigger Finger
This can occur when the tendons pulling your fingers into a fist enlarge and have difficulty moving through a pulley.
Wrist pain
Wrist pain affects our ability to lift, grip and feel confident using our hands. Wrist pain can be caused by ligament issues, tendon inflammation or injuries to the bones.
Thumb pain
Arthritis can affect all of us at some stage. A common spot for this to occur is at the base of our thumbs. Other causes can be instability from lax ligaments.
