What is Hand Rehabilitation?
Hand rehabilitation is a specialized branch of therapy that focuses on restoring strength, function, and mobility to the hand and wrist. It involves a combination of manual therapy, strengthening exercises, splinting, and education to improve the ability to perform daily activities and reduce pain associated with hand injuries and conditions.
Conditions Treated with Hand Rehabilitation:
- Post-Surgical Hand Rehabilitation
After hand or wrist surgery, rehabilitation is crucial to regain full range of motion and strength. We provide post-surgical rehabilitation programs for conditions such as tendon repairs, fractures, ligament injuries, and carpal tunnel surgery. Our goal is to help you return to your daily tasks with minimal discomfort and maximum functionality. - Hand Injuries (Fractures, Sprains, and Strains)
Hand injuries are common, and recovery can be challenging without the right care. We specialize in treating hand fractures, ligament sprains, strains, and soft tissue injuries, using a combination of manual therapy, exercises, and functional training to restore strength, mobility, and coordination. - Arthritis & Joint Disorders
Arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, can cause pain, stiffness, and limited movement in the hand and wrist. Our rehabilitation programs focus on reducing pain, improving joint function, and slowing the progression of the disease through exercise, joint mobilization, and education on managing symptoms. - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, tingling, and numbness in the hand and wrist due to compression of the median nerve. We offer targeted rehabilitation to improve hand function, reduce nerve compression, and alleviate symptoms through stretches, strengthening exercises, and postural education. - Tendon Injuries & Rehabilitative Therapy
Tendon injuries, such as those involving the flexor or extensor tendons, can make hand movements difficult or painful. Our hand rehabilitation programs help improve tendon healing, restore range of motion, and prevent future injury with gentle exercises, splints, and manual therapy. - Nerve Injuries & Neurological Rehabilitation
Nerve injuries in the hand or wrist, whether from trauma or conditions like neuropathy, can result in loss of sensation or strength. We offer specialized rehabilitation for nerve damage, including sensory retraining, strengthening exercises, and techniques to improve dexterity and function. - Sports Injuries and Overuse Injuries
Athletes and active individuals often experience hand injuries due to overuse or impact. We help athletes recover from sports-related hand injuries, such as sprains, fractures, and dislocations, through specialized rehab programs designed to restore function and prevent future injuries.
