Achieve the best possible treatment outcome for your hand, wrist or forearm condition with our expert Hand Therapists in London. Discover why patients give us 5 stars!
Hand therapy is a specialised area of physical therapy that focuses on the evaluation and treatment of conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and forearm. Pain, discomfort, or limited wrist mobility can significantly affect daily activities, and can arise from various factors, including injuries like falls or gradual wear and tear.
Our team of hand therapists are specialist occupational therapists and physios, based in Central London, with expertise in hand and wrist care. They can assess a broad spectrum of injuries and conditions, and provide you with the most effective support and treatment. Where beneficial, they also have access to state-of-the art technology to offer custom-made splints (orthoses) to optimise the management of your hand or wrist condition.
Hand therapy can be beneficial for individuals who have experienced hand, wrist or forearm related injuries, conditions, or surgeries.
Hand therapists work with patients who have sustained injuries such as fractures, dislocations, sprains, or strains in the hand, wrist, or forearm.
After surgical procedures on the hand, wrist, or forearm (such as tendon repairs, nerve repairs, joint replacements, or ligament reconstructions), hand therapy is often recommended to aid in the recovery process.
People with conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, or repetitive strain injuries may benefit from hand therapy to reduce pain and improve function.
Hand therapists can provide techniques and exercises to manage the symptoms of arthritis in the hand and wrist, helping patients maintain joint mobility and reduce pain.
Hand therapy can be part of rehabilitation for individuals with neurological conditions that affect hand function, such as stroke, nerve damage, or spinal cord injuries.
We can assess your movement patterns, strength and physical condition to identify potential areas of weakness that could lead to injury.
The goal of hand therapy is to help individuals regain optimal function and independence in their daily lives, whether it’s for work, self-care, hobbies, or sports. Our specialist hand therapists will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific problems and expectations.
