Hand Therapy
Hand Therapy
Hand therapy is an integral part of the treatment of many hand and wrist conditions. Whether you have sustained an injury, are recovering from surgery, or are managing a chronic condition such as arthritis, specialist hand therapy can help optimise your recovery and restore function.
Hand therapists are occupational therapists or physiotherapists who have undertaken advanced training in the assessment and rehabilitation of conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and upper limb. They work closely with your surgeon to provide individualised care throughout your recovery.
Treatment may include:
- Personalised exercise programmes to restore movement, strength, and function
- Management of pain, swelling, and stiffness
- Scar management following surgery or injury
- Custom-made splints to protect healing structures or improve hand function
- Advice on returning safely to work, sport, and everyday activities
As a hand and wrist surgeon, I work closely with experienced hand therapists because surgery is only one part of the recovery process. Expert rehabilitation is often essential to achieving the best possible outcome, helping you regain confidence, independence, and the highest level of hand function.
