Hand

Our hands do almost everything, so even small injuries can have a big impact on work, hobbies, and independence. Hand and finger problems include tendon injuries, trigger finger, arthritis, and recovery after fractures or surgery — often bringing pain, stiffness, swelling, or reduced grip.

Hand therapy is a specialised area of physiotherapy that helps restore movement, strength, and dexterity while protecting healing tissues. Treatment might include targeted exercises, splinting, scar and swelling management, and practical advice for daily tasks. In this section you'll find evidence-based assessment and management guidance for common hand and finger conditions and post-operative rehab — designed for clinicians and clear enough for patients to follow through their recovery.
