Questions Answered
Everything You
Need to Know.
What is Hand Therapy?
Hand Therapy is a specialized form of rehabilitation that focuses on treating conditions affecting the hands, wrists, forearms, and elbows through personalized therapy and functional rehabilitation.
Who can benefit from Hand Therapy?
Anyone recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or dealing with an acute injury of the hand, wrist, forearm or elbow. We commonly treat carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tennis and golfer's elbow, trigger finger, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, fractures and ligament injuries, nerve injuries, and post-operative recovery.
Do I need a referral for Hand Therapy?
That depends on your insurance plan and state regulations — many plans require a physician's referral for physical therapy services. We recommend checking with your insurance provider, and our office can help verify your coverage and requirements before you begin.
Will I need a custom splint?
Many hand conditions benefit from splinting, either for protection during healing, to correct deformity, or to rest inflamed tissues. If needed, we can fabricate custom splints in our clinic tailored to your exact measurements and requirements. Custom splints typically provide better fit and function than prefabricated options.
How long does recovery take?
The number of sessions varies based on your specific condition, severity, and individual healing response. Minor injuries may require 4-6 weeks of therapy, while complex surgeries or chronic conditions might need 8-12 weeks or more. Your therapist will provide an estimated treatment timeline after your initial evaluation, and consistency with home exercises significantly impacts your recovery speed.
Can Hand Therapy help me return to work or sports?
Many patients continue working with modifications, and your therapist can provide guidance on activity restrictions and work accommodations. We also offer return-to-work conditioning programs for those transitioning back to physically demanding jobs. For athletes and performing artists, treatment includes technique analysis, instrument-specific exercises, and sport-specific training to ensure safe return to your activity at the highest level possible.
