What do Hand Physical Therapists do?
Hand physical therapists are certified occupational therapists (OTs) or physical therapists (PTs) with specialized training in the anatomy and function of the upper extremities.
They treat injuries and conditions affecting the fingers, hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders using manual therapy, custom orthotics (splints), exercise programs, and pain/swelling management to restore function, strength, and range of motion, helping patients return to their daily activities and work.
What they do
Provide non-operative and post-surgical rehabilitation: They help patients recover from injuries such as fractures, tendon lacerations, and nerve disorders (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome), and assist in post-surgical rehabilitation.
Treat chronic conditions: They help patients with ongoing issues such as arthritis and repetitive stress injuries, providing education on joint protection and adaptive equipment.
Manage pain and swelling: Therapists use techniques and modalities to control pain and reduce inflammation in the upper extremity.
Fabricate orthotics: They create custom splints and braces to support injuries and aid in recovery.
Offer wound and scar care: They provide care for wounds, scars, and infections that can affect function.
Promote return to work/activity: They develop programs to help patients regain strength and mobility, enabling them to return to their jobs, sports, and daily life.
Consult for prevention: They can also consult with industries to help prevent work-related injuries by recommending modifications and healthy work practices.
Conditions Treated
Hand physical therapists treat a wide range of upper extremity conditions, including:
Post-Surgical Conditions: Rehabilitation after joint replacements, tendon repairs, and other surgeries.
Injuries: Fingertip injuries, fractures, dislocations, crush injuries, and sports-related injuries.
Tendon and Ligament Issues: Tendonitis, strains, and tears in tendons and ligaments.
Nerve Disorders: Carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve compression, and nerve injuries.
Chronic Conditions: Arthritis, nerve conditions (like those from a stroke), and joint stiffness.
