Winter sports are tough on the hands, whether it's from a fall, a ball impact, or a bad landing. If your hand or wrist is sore, swollen, or hard to move after a game or training, it's worth getting checked.
At Hands On Rehabilitation, we treat a wide range of upper limb injuries and are set up to be your first point of contact. No referral needed.
Common Injuries We See in Winter Codes
We regularly support players from rugby, netball, basketball, hockey, and more. Some of the injuries we often treat include:
- Finger sprains and dislocations
- Thumb ligament injuries
- Wrist fractures or impact trauma
- Tendon injuries like mallet finger or jersey finger
- Overuse or contact-related soft tissue injuries
If your hand or wrist is stopping you from playing, training, or even sleeping well, it's time to get it looked at.

Swelling and pain are normal, but good management early on can:
- Support healing
- Prevent further damage

At Hands On, we can:
- Fit protective splints if needed
- Guide safe movement and rehab at the right time
- Provide timeframes for healing and sport return
