Overview
Actimove Arthritis Care Gloves in Small provide the same therapeutic warmth and compression support as the Medium and Large sizes, correctly sized for smaller adult hands. Made by BSN Medical, these compression gloves address the joint pain, morning stiffness, and swelling that are daily challenges for people living with arthritis — in a size that fits comfortably without excess material bunching or compromising the even compression that makes these gloves effective.
Correct sizing is perhaps the most important consideration when purchasing compression gloves — and the availability of the Small size within the Actimove range ensures that those with smaller hands are not faced with the choice between a poorly fitting medium and no support at all. A properly fitted Small delivers the same calibrated warmth and joint support as the larger sizes, maintaining the dexterity and everyday practicality that make Actimove Arthritis Care Gloves a valued daily companion for those managing hand arthritis.
What It Does
- Delivers gentle compression and therapeutic warmth to arthritic joints. The compression knit maintains body heat around the hand and finger joints and provides the even, calibrated pressure that reduces swelling and pain perception — in a correctly fitting Small that covers the hand without excess fabric.
- Supports hand function and reduces morning stiffness. Worn from the start of the day, the Small gloves provide the same compression benefit as the larger sizes — reducing the severity and duration of morning stiffness and maintaining easier, more comfortable hand movement through the day.
- Provides a correctly fitting option for smaller adult hands. Compression is only therapeutic when the garment fits correctly — the Small size ensures those with smaller hands receive the full benefit of the Actimove design.
How to Apply
- Confirm Small is your correct size by measuring the palm circumference and comparing with the Actimove size guide on packaging before wearing.
- Put on in the morning, before the day's activities begin and before swelling has opportunity to establish.
- Smooth carefully over the hand to ensure even coverage without folds or bunching — particularly around the knuckles and between the fingers.
- Wear comfortably for several hours during waking hours — remove at night unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise.
- Remove by peeling from the wrist rather than pulling from the fingers.
- Wash regularly as directed on the care label.
Important: Remove immediately if numbness, tingling, increased pain, or skin colour changes occur. Consult your GP, rheumatologist, or occupational therapist before use as part of your arthritis management plan.
Who It's For
- Adults with smaller hands living with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis who need a correctly fitting compression glove to receive the full therapeutic benefit of the design.
- Women in particular — many women find Medium compression gloves too large and experience the bunching and uneven compression that comes with an oversized fit. The Small size resolves this.
- Older adults with smaller hand dimensions who want the same warmth, support, and dexterity benefits as the larger sizes.
- Small size specifically — for hands at the lower end of standard adult sizing. Always measure and confirm using the Actimove size guide before purchasing.
Good to Know
- Correct fit is particularly important in smaller sizes. Smaller hands can be most affected by the bunching and uneven compression that results from wearing a too-large glove — the Small size ensures the design performs as intended for those it is made for.
- Support and comfort product — not a medical treatment. Use alongside prescribed medical management, not in place of it.
- Wash regularly and follow care label instructions to maintain compression and hygiene.
- Available in Small, Medium, and Large — always size by measurement, not assumption.
- Latex-free status, material composition, compression level, and care instructions: please verify on the physical packaging and supply manually before publishing.

FAQs
Why does correct glove size matter so much?
Compression is only therapeutic when it is applied correctly and evenly. A glove that is too large will bunch at the knuckles and fingers, creating irregular pressure rather than even compression — and in some areas providing no compression at all. A glove that is too small risks restricting circulation, which can cause numbness, tingling, and in extreme cases circulatory problems. The Small, Medium, and Large options in the Actimove range exist precisely so that every hand size can access a correctly fitting glove that provides genuine therapeutic compression rather than an approximate one.
Is the Small suitable for most women's hands?
Many women find that Small is their appropriate size, but this is not universally true — hand dimensions vary considerably regardless of gender. The reliable approach is always to measure the palm circumference (around the widest part of the palm, excluding the thumb) and compare with the Actimove size guide rather than assuming a size based on any other factor. If your measurement falls on the border between Small and Medium, consult the size guide guidance for borderline fits, or speak to your pharmacist.
Do these gloves help with finger joint pain specifically, or just the palm and wrist?
The compression knit extends across the full hand including the finger joints, which is where much of the pain and stiffness of hand arthritis is concentrated — particularly in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints. The warmth and compression benefits apply to the fingers as well as the palm. If the gloves are open-fingered (fingerless at the tips), confirm on pack — the compression will still apply to the finger joint area itself, while the fingertips remain free for sensitivity and practical tasks.
