What is Hand Therapy?

Hand therapy is a specialized branch of rehabilitation medicine that focuses on treating injuries and conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and upper limbs. It is performed by a certified physical therapist or occupational therapist who is trained to manage both surgical and non-surgical conditions.

Hand therapy is commonly required for:

• ✔ Hand and wrist fractures
• ✔ Tendon and ligament injuries
• ✔ Nerve injuries or post-nerve surgery
• ✔ Burns, scars, or post-trauma stiffness
• ✔ Carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow
• ✔ Arthritis and joint stiffness
• ✔ Stroke or other neurological disorders affecting hand movement

Benefits of Hand Therapy

Hand therapy provides numerous advantages that go far beyond simple pain relief. One of the most important benefits is that it serves as a non-surgical treatment option to restore normal hand function, helping patients avoid unnecessary surgical procedures. It also plays a vital role in managing both acute and chronic pain, making daily activities more comfortable and improving overall quality of life.

For patients recovering from trauma or nerve injuries, hand therapy includes desensitization techniques and sensory re-education, which help restore sensation and nerve function. Therapists also design custom splints to correct or prevent deformities, ensuring proper hand alignment and support during recovery.

A key part of therapy involves strengthening exercises and mobility training that enhance dexterity and hand coordination. Additionally, patients are guided in performing daily activities more independently, often with adaptive methods and equipment when necessary. For those preparing to return to work, work conditioning programs are provided to rebuild endurance, strength, and functional skills required in job-related tasks.

Overall, hand therapy is a holistic approach that not only treats the condition but also empowers patients to regain strength, independence, and confidence in their hand functions.
