The right approach for your persistent ache in the wrist, stiffness in your elbow, or post-surgical recovery of the hand will vary according to the nature of your concerns and why the issues arise in the first place.
Based on your assessment, our physiotherapist will create a plan covering manual therapy, customised exercise programs (finger bends, thumb touches, wrist flexor stretch, rubber band extensions), strengthening and stretching routines, splinting or bracing and more. As your chosen team for hand physiotherapy, we will be sure to follow an evidence-based approach and derive the best outcomes for you.
