Hand osteoarthritis and everyday activity.

Start with the reason you are looking

Hand stiffness or pain can affect work, hobbies and ordinary tasks. We provide a starting point for describing the function you want to manage, not a diagnosis of osteoarthritis.

A qualified health professional can assess your circumstances and discuss suitable options, including whether physiotherapy is appropriate.

Useful details to include

Keep the first enquiry short and general. These prompts can help us understand what you are hoping to discuss:

• The hand task or activity that is affected
• What you would like to do more comfortably
• Your timing and preferred appointment format
