Hand therapy is a specialized form of rehabilitation that focuses on treating conditions affecting the hands, wrists, and upper limbs. This type of therapy is commonly used to treat injuries, fractures, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Hand therapy includes a combination of exercises, manual therapy, splinting, and functional training to improve strength, flexibility, and coordination.

Therapists use various techniques such as strengthening exercises, joint mobilizations, and stretching to improve hand and wrist mobility. Splints may also be used to support joints or immobilize certain areas to promote healing. Hand therapy aims to restore the ability to perform daily tasks and improve the patient’s quality of life.

Hand therapy is essential for individuals recovering from hand injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions, helping them regain full functionality and independence.
