Hand therapy is the assessment and rehabilitation of your hand, wrist and arm. Hand therapists are either occupational therapists or physiotherapists with many years of extra training to specialise in this complex and vital part of the body. Here are some examples of when you might benefit from seeing one of our highly specialist hand therapists at the Hand & Wrist Service:
If you are unsure whether hand therapy may help your condition please contact us at [email protected]. One of our specialist hand therapists will be pleased to answer your questions and provide guidance about the potential for treatment.
Hand therapy is a specialist discipline of physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Physiotherapists traditionally use exercise and mobilisation based rehabilitation to improve movement and strength. Occupational therapists traditionally use activity based rehabilitation to improve function. Our exceptional team at the Hand & Wrist Service contains both disciplines of therapist who have trained uniquely to use both sets of skills during your treatment. You will be able to see one hand therapist to cover all aspects of your rehabilitation, including wound care, saving you time and providing continuity of care.
Our team of hand therapists are members of the British Association of Hand Therapists (BAHT - with web link) and other professional bodies. We are all registered with the HPC, the governmental body responsible for the licensing of allied health professionals. We have a strong commitment to providing the best care for you, linking your treatment to the functional needs of your hand whether this is general household tasks, specific work activities, hobbies or high level sport/music.
