For any new injuries seek assessment from a Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist, Hand Therapist, or Sports and Exercise Doctor. X-Ray’s or imaging may be need to screen for significant injuries.
Finger injuries are often considered to be minor by players and coaches. Fractures and tendon injuries can get overlooked as just a sprain. Collateral (UCL, RCL) and volar plate sprains should also be managed well to speed up recovery and maximise long term outcomes.
Depending on the injury, physiotherapy treatment may include cohesive taping for compression, splinting for protection and stability, strength or range of motion exercises.
