Welcome Spring! 🌸🐝 Have a great weekend! #newseason #hope #weekend #novahandtherapy

These cool bands help a trigger finger patient build up the handles on his lawn mower and in his workshop!
This allows for a larger grip which decreases the amount of exertion and force applied to his flexor tendons and A1 pulley so that his trigger finger will not be affected and continue to heal and he can still do what he enjoys!
Activity modification is key for success! Win win! 🔨☝️😀#coolbands #triggerfinger #dowhatyoulove #novahandtherapy

Great idea! Should we make it for our elbow patients?!? 💪🏼😁

Tip of the Week Tuesday!

Working on a stiff elbow to regain range of motion can be painful for the patient and challenging for the therapist. The video shown below (in the comments) is a great way to engage the patient in a functional and FUN activity. Use spare thermoplast and work on end range extension and flexion of the elbow. The activity can be modified multiple ways. For example, if the wrist is compensating, apply a prefab wrist cock up during the activity. To work on extension, you can block the upper arm dorsally during the forward reach to help with elbow extension to pick up or release the dowels. The possibilities are endless! -- Kantessa Stewart, OTR/L, CHT

Kinesiotaping the thumb provides support and stability over the area while increasing circulation and reducing pressure. It also helps to provide a mechanical assist. 👍😊#ktape #healing #painfree #novahandtherapy

Happy Valentine’s Day!💕Wishing you a wonderful day with the ones you love! ❤️ 🌹🍫#love #familyandfriends #pets #novahandtherapy
