Skier’s thumb, also known as ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury, occurs when the ligament in the thumb is overstretched or torn, typically due to a sudden force or fall. This condition causes pain, swelling, and reduced grip strength, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks. At Nu Life Clinic, we offer specialized care to treat skier’s thumb and promote a full recovery.

Our expert physiotherapists assess the severity of your injury and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. For mild to moderate cases, we focus on reducing pain and swelling using techniques like cold therapy, ultrasound, and gentle massage. Stabilization of the thumb with braces or splints may also be recommended to support healing.

As the healing progresses, we introduce targeted exercises to improve thumb mobility, strengthen the surrounding muscles, and restore grip strength. For severe injuries requiring surgical repair, our post-operative rehabilitation program ensures a smooth recovery, helping you regain full thumb function.
