The most important role we have as hand therapists is to advise you about your condition, and help as your  rehabilitation progresses through the stages of healing.

​

This ‘help’ can take many forms, but includes therapy in order to control swelling, use of splinting and casting to provide immobilisation/partial mobilisation, exercise to glide tissues and strengthen muscles as well as other therapy such as advice on computer ergonomics and wound care.

​

Hand Therapists treat a wide variety of conditions including: arthritis, ganglion cysts, fractures of the hand and wrist, carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren's disease, de Quervain's tenosynovitis, trigger fingers and thumbs, tennis elbow, tendon repairs as well as many others.

​

If your condition is sufficiently severe or reaches a plateau with Hand Therapy, we have a close working relationship with Orthopaedic Hand Surgeons and Plastic Surgeons, and can refer on when appropriate.
