Hand Therapy Services

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation after hand surgery can help you work toward comfortable movement and useful function. Your therapist considers your procedure, healing stage, symptoms, and daily demands when planning care. Sessions may include guided exercises, movement practice, and practical advice for managing tasks. Your plan is adjusted as your recovery progresses and follows any guidance from your surgical team.

Scar Care

Scar tissue may feel tight, sensitive, or restrictive as it heals. Your therapist can assess the area and advise on appropriate scar care based on your wound’s healing stage and your surgeon’s instructions. When suitable, treatment may include gentle techniques and guidance for home care. The aim is to support comfort and movement without disrupting healing.

Hand Stiffness

Stiffness can make everyday tasks harder after hand surgery. Therapy focuses on the joints and movements affected, with exercises selected for your recovery stage and surgical guidance. You’ll learn how to practise safely and build movement gradually at home. Your therapist can review your progress and adjust the plan to match your response and functional goals.

Swelling Management

Swelling may affect comfort and movement during recovery. Your therapist can assess your hand and discuss suitable ways to manage it, taking account of your procedure and any advice from your surgical team. Care may include positioning, movement, and self-management guidance where appropriate. You’ll have clear instructions on what to monitor and when to seek further clinical advice.

Movement and Strength

As healing allows, therapy can help you practise movement and gradually rebuild strength. Your plan reflects your operation, current abilities, and the activities you want to return to. Exercises are introduced at a pace appropriate to your recovery and adjusted as needed. Your therapist can also help you apply new movement skills to work, home, and other daily tasks.

Everyday Activity Support

Hand recovery affects more than exercise sessions. Therapy can help you consider how to manage dressing, cooking, work tasks, and other activities while your hand heals. Your therapist will discuss practical adaptations suited to your situation and surgical guidance. As function changes, you can review your routines and gradually work toward activities that matter to you.
