in the hand or fingers, then you may need to see a specialised hand therapist.

What is hand therapy?

Hand physiotherapy is designed to improve function, range of movement and decrease pain following an injury or surgery to the hand or wrist.

Hand therapy can involve a variety of techniques, including exercises, massage, manual therapy and sometimes the use of splinting.

What is splinting?

Splinting is a technique that is used to immobilize or protect bones or joints in order to promote healing. It involves the use of a rigid splint, which is made to measure and is typically made from plaster or fiberglass, to hold the affected limb in place. Splinting is often used in conjunction with other treatments, such as physiotherapy, to help patients regain mobility after an injury.

Why use a specialist hand therapist?

Hand therapists work closely with patients to customize a treatment plan that meets their specific needs and goals. A hand therapist has a high level of specialisation and requires advanced post-graduate qualifications. They often work alongside surgeons and plan and implement post operative care to ensure improved outcomes.
