About Hand Therapy

Hand therapy is a focused area of physiotherapy that addresses pain, injury, and dysfunction in the hand, wrist, and forearm. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a repetitive strain injury, or dealing with the effects of a workplace accident, our team provides individualized treatment to help restore strength, mobility, and function.

Our physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques tailored to the complex structure of the upper limb. Treatment may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, splinting, and education—always based on your specific condition and goals.
