Hand and wrist rehabilitation

After a fracture, surgery, injury or a period of immobilisation, appropriate care supports recovery and helps you regain the use of your hand in everyday tasks, at work and in sport.

The hand is a precision instrument: stiffness, loss of strength or persistent pain quickly affects independence. Treatment works on finger and wrist mobility, grip strength, sensation and coordination, with exercises to continue at home.

Rehabilitation may be indicated after a fracture, hand or wrist surgery, a sprain, a tendinopathy, immobilisation or an injury, particularly when pain, stiffness, loss of strength or limited movement persist.

• Fractures of the wrist, metacarpals or fingers
• Finger or wrist dislocation
• Dupuytren's disease: rehabilitation after fasciotomy or fasciectomy
• Carpal tunnel syndrome: before and after surgery
• Rehabilitation after hand surgery (tendons, joint replacement, fracture fixation)
• Wrist or finger sprains
• Tendinopathies (De Quervain's, trigger finger)
• Stiffness after immobilisation

The first session is an assessment: range of motion, strength, pain and the movements that cause difficulty. A programme is then built with you and adjusted at each session according to your progress and, where relevant, your surgeon's instructions.
