Exercises for your arm & hand while in a cast

Why is it important to exercise while in a cast?

Fibreglass casts help to prevent movement and allow your injured bones to heal.

Due to your injury, swelling, stiffness and weakness may develop. To help reduce stiffness and weakness, it's important to continue to move your arm gently. Motion also helps to decrease inflammation. These exercises will allow your therapist to focus on the stiff joints that have been immobilised when the cast is removed.

Waterproof casts can be a great option for children and the elderly. Aside from being lighter and waterproof, they are also healthier for the skin.

All Melbourne Hand Rehab clinics have the resources to make customised waterproof casts, however they are not suitable for all injuries. During your appointment your hand therapy practitioner will check that your injury is suitable for a waterproof cast.
