Hand Therapy
Hand Therapy
Hand Therapy addresses pain, stiffness, and weakness in the hand, wrist, and forearm that can follow an injury, surgery, or a condition like arthritis or nerve compression. Because these areas rely on precise coordination between small joints, tendons, and nerves, treatment focuses on restoring fine motor control, grip strength, and functional movement for everyday tasks.
What Hand Therapy Addresses
- Post-Surgical Recovery — regaining motion and strength after hand or wrist procedures.
- Nerve-Related Pain — managing numbness, tingling, or weakness linked to nerve irritation or compression.
- Tendon and Joint Conditions — addressing stiffness or pain from tendonitis, arthritis, or repetitive strain.
- Fracture Rehabilitation — rebuilding motion and stability after a bone fracture in the hand or wrist.
How We Approach Treatment
Sessions take place on our adjustable treatment tables, positioning your hand and arm comfortably for hands-on work and guided exercise.
- Electrical Stimulation Units — gentle current used to ease pain and encourage weak muscles to re-engage.
- Ultrasound Machines — deep tissue warming that can support healing and reduce discomfort.
- Kinesiology Tape — elastic support that stabilizes the hand or wrist while allowing movement to continue.
- Resistance Bands — graded strengthening tools that also go home with you for a continuing exercise program.
Whether recovery follows surgery, an injury, or an ongoing condition, Hand Therapy is built around returning practical, day-to-day use of the hand.
