Hand Therapy is a type of rehabilitation performed by our physiotherapists with patients that suffer from conditions affecting the hands and upper extremities. It enables patients to hasten their return to a productive lifestyle.

​

Hand therapy provides:

• Treatments without an operation

• Help with recent or long-lasting pain

• Help to reduce sensitivity from nerve problems

• Learning to feel again after a nerve injury

• Learning home exercise programs to help with movement and strength

​

If surgery is needed, hand therapists can also help with a patient’s recovery. This may include assistance with helping wounds heal, preventing infection, scar management and reducing swelling.
