Understanding Hand Therapy

Hand therapy is a specialized area of physiotherapy focused on the rehabilitation of the hand, wrist, and forearm.

Hand therapists have specialized training in the complexity of the upper extremity, where multiple joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves must work together seamlessly. They offer targeted treatment strategies to improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore function after injury, surgery, or chronic conditions.

Treatment is highly individualized, ensuring that care aligns with your specific diagnosis, lifestyle, and goals.

Who Can Benefit from Hand Therapy?

Hand therapy can support recovery and function across a wide range of conditions. Whether symptoms developed gradually or occurred suddenly, early assessment can help guide appropriate care.

You may benefit from hand therapy if you are experiencing:

  • Pain, stiffness, or swelling in the hand, wrist, or fingers
  • Reduced grip strength or difficulty holding objects
  • Limited range of motion following injury or immobilization
  • Nerve-related symptoms such as tingling, numbness, or weakness
  • Post-surgical recovery for procedures involving the hand or wrist
  • Overuse injuries related to work, sports, or repetitive tasks
  • Nerve entrapment conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
