What Is Hand Therapy?
Hand therapy is a specialized therapy to treat conditions affecting the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. Upper extremity injuries and conditions can hinder your daily function without therapy.
Why Might I Need Hand Therapy?
You may benefit from working with a hand therapist if you experience
- An injury such as a fracture or sprain in your hand or arm
- Pain from tendonitis, arthritis, or carpal tunnel syndrome
- A severe burn or frostbite
- An amputation
What to Expect with Hand Therapy
After an evaluation, your individualized treatment plan may include
- Wound care: If you experienced a severe burn or frostbite, your therapist will educate you on how to properly care for your wounds.
- Range of motion and strengthening exercises: Your therapist will work with you to improve the strength and mobility in your hand, wrist, elbow, or shoulder to help you complete everyday tasks.
- Re-education: Depending on your injury or condition, your therapist can help you with sensory and neuromuscular re-education exercises.
