Overview
Actimove Arthritis Care Gloves in Medium are a pair of therapeutic compression gloves designed for people living with arthritis and joint pain in the hands and fingers, sized to fit the mid-range of adult hand dimensions. Made by BSN Medical, the Medium size is the most commonly required across the Actimove range — fitting the majority of adult hands comfortably while delivering the calibrated warmth and compression that make these gloves one of the most practically effective tools in daily arthritis management.
The compression knit construction retains joint warmth, provides gentle supportive pressure, and maintains the dexterity needed for everyday activity — all in a slim, discreet profile that can be worn throughout the day without drawing attention or limiting hand function. For many people with arthritis, wearing compression gloves from the morning onwards represents one of the most immediately noticeable improvements in daily hand comfort and functional ease.
What It Does
- Eases pain and stiffness through therapeutic warmth and compression. The compression knit retains body heat around the joints and provides calibrated, even pressure that reduces swelling, supports joint structure, and reliably reduces the perception of pain and stiffness with regular wearing.
- Reduces morning stiffness. Worn from the start of the day — before swelling has had opportunity to develop — compression gloves are particularly effective at reducing the duration and severity of the morning stiffness that is one of the most debilitating daily symptoms of both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Maintains hand function for daily tasks. The slim, dexterous design allows continuous wearing during everyday activities — cooking, writing, typing, domestic tasks — providing consistent support without restricting use.
How to Apply
- Confirm Medium is your correct size by measuring around the widest part of your palm (excluding the thumb) and comparing with the Actimove size guide on pack.
- Put on in the morning before swelling develops for maximum benefit.
- Smooth evenly over the hand ensuring no folds or creases, particularly across the palm and knuckles.
- Wear for several hours during waking hours as comfortable — remove at night unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.
- Remove carefully by peeling from the wrist rather than pulling from the fingers.
- Wash regularly according to the care label instructions.
Important: Remove immediately if you experience numbness, tingling, increased pain, or any colour change in the skin. Consult your GP, rheumatologist, or occupational therapist before incorporating into your arthritis management routine.
Who It's For
- Adults with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis affecting the hands, experiencing daily pain, stiffness, and swelling.
- Those experiencing morning stiffness who want to reduce its severity and duration through early-day compression support.
- Those who need functional hands for daily tasks and cannot wear bulky splints or supports during activity.
- Medium size specifically — for hands that measure in the mid-range of standard adult sizing. Measure and confirm before purchase using the Actimove size guide.
Good to Know
- Comfort and support product — not a medical treatment. These gloves provide symptomatic relief and should be used alongside, not in place of, prescribed medical management. Consult your healthcare provider.
- The Medium size suits the majority of adult hands — but always measure before purchasing to confirm correct fit.
- Wash regularly and follow care label instructions to maintain compression integrity and hygiene.
- Available in Small, Medium, and Large for correct sizing across the adult hand size range.
- Latex-free status, specific material composition, compression level, and care instructions: please verify on the physical packaging and supply manually before publishing.

FAQs
Is Medium the right size for most people?
Medium is the most commonly purchased size in most compression glove ranges and fits the majority of adult hands. However, sizing should always be based on measurement rather than assumption — measure around the widest part of your palm (excluding the thumb) and compare with the Actimove size guide on the packaging before ordering. An incorrectly sized compression glove either provides no therapeutic benefit (too loose) or risks restricting circulation (too tight) — getting the size right is the single most important factor in ensuring these gloves work as intended.
Can I wear these if I have both osteoarthritis and another condition affecting my hands?
If you have a complex hand condition, multiple diagnoses, or if your hands are affected by circulation problems, peripheral neuropathy, or skin conditions as well as arthritis, consult your GP or occupational therapist before using compression gloves. In certain circumstances — poor peripheral circulation, open skin conditions, significant oedema requiring medical compression — standard arthritis gloves may not be appropriate, and a healthcare professional can advise on the most suitable support option for your specific situation.
How quickly will I notice a difference?
Many people notice a meaningful improvement in comfort, warmth, and ease of movement within the first wearing — particularly the reduction in morning stiffness when gloves are put on before getting out of bed or immediately on waking. The full benefit of regular wearing — reduced swelling, more consistent joint comfort, reduced pain perception — typically builds over the first few days to weeks of consistent use. Individual response varies depending on the type and severity of arthritis, hand condition, and how consistently the gloves are worn.
Do I need a prescription to buy these?
No — Actimove Arthritis Care Gloves are available over the counter without a prescription. However, it is worth discussing their use with your GP, rheumatologist, or occupational therapist as part of your overall arthritis management plan. Occupational therapists in particular have specialist expertise in hand function and can advise on correct sizing, wearing schedules, and whether additional hand support tools would be beneficial alongside these gloves.
