Fixing, exercising, and splinting finger, wrist and elbow injuries of athletes of all abilities in all sports for more than 25 years!

Every week I get requests from students for placements 👀

Unfortunately I’m in the unenviable position of having to say ‘no’ 😔 as not viable. Few tips though:

▪️Cast a wide net…area & sports
▪️Articulate how you could be of benefit to ‘them’ (two sided benefit)
▪️Stay +ve 😊

Seriously, what is happening with the Australian cricket team's hands? Need any help at all? #AUSvsSA #handinjury

Now @davidwarner31 needs more Coban for his fingers. What's going on with the Australian cricket team's hands? #AUSvsSA #handinjury

[Hamish Anderson @SportingHands]

Injections won't make a difference regardless of what they said on @7Cricket . If there's no fracture the finger needs 8 weeks full-time splinting. Tough injury for a left-handed paceman.

Mallet finger for Mitchell Starc? Left middle finger on bowling hand. No tape permitted; power through the fingertip as he bowls will surely be affected. #AUSvsSA #mitchellstarc #fingerinjury #handtherapy

@snickalous Buddy, encourage flexion. Loss of movement on any other plane, follow up. Loss of adduction following this sort of impact usually comes good. My opinion and experience only. If you have concerns, go up the tree, don't rely on socials.

This article is a great place to start for those of us that struggle with the complexities of wrist pain in this cohort. Add sporting expectations into the mix and the complications can become very messy.
Thanks for the post @maximhorwitz @JHSGlobalOnline #handtherapy

Do you ever struggle with a diagnosis in teenagers wrist pain? It can be a challenge 🧐. https://t.co/VcIPKk56yd @HandSociety @JHSEur @JHSGlobalOnline @hand_specialist @kashakhtar @Pranai_B

[Hamish Anderson @SportingHands]

@maximhorwitz @HandSociety @JHSEur @JHSGlobalOnline @hand_specialist @kashakhtar @Pranai_B Managing this condition especially in junior athletes is particularly tricky, and demands dealing with a number of factors beyond the biomechanics of the injury itself.
Thanks for highlighting the article @maximhorwitz

@jackwilson90 How much you asking @jackwilson90 ? Extra for your caddy mate? Now I'd watch that!

[Hamish Anderson @SportingHands]

@MattBodyGuide 100% agree @MattBodyGuide . If that is the standard we are relying on, then there is no place for reasoned, clinical judgement.

[Hamish Anderson @SportingHands]

Is it too simple to interpret this as the level of quality evidence bar is set so high that it is too difficult for clinicians to prove what they know works? Genuine question from a full time clinician and an intermittent, case study focussed researcher.

[Hamish Anderson @SportingHands]

@jyeot Mate I think intrinsic / extrinsic imbalance is a massive reason for a lot of hand issues in sport, eg climbing. I just didn't know how to prove it. Any ideas?

Happy to help #GoHawks
