Conditions Treated
What Conditions We Treat With Care
Rehabilitation for Fractures and Dislocations
Hand therapy for fractures and dislocations of the fingers, hand, wrist, and elbow focuses on reducing pain, restoring movement, and supporting recovery through guided rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation for Hand Sprains and Soft Tissue Injuries
Sprains and soft tissue injuries in the hand can cause pain, swelling, and reduced function. Our hand therapy focuses on controlled movement, swelling management, custom splinting, and progressive strengthening to support healing and restore hand use for daily tasks and work activities.
Hand Therapy Following Tendon Repair Surgery
Our post-operative hand therapy follows evidence-based phases, beginning with protection and swelling management, and gradually progressing through guided early movement, strengthening, and a safe return to daily activities.
TFCC Injury Recovery and Hand Therapy
We provide effective pain relief and wrist stability support for TFCC (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex) injuries. Our evidence-based hand therapy approach includes custom wrist splinting, graded mobilisation, and targeted strengthening to promote healing and restore function.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) Treatment and Rehabilitation
We use evidence-based techniques to manage Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), including custom splinting, nerve gliding exercises, pain relief strategies, and progressive strengthening to reduce symptoms and restore hand function.
Managing Hand and Wrist Arthritis
Evidence-based arthritis therapy for hands and wrists includes custom splinting, joint protection techniques, pain management strategies, and progressive exercises designed to improve hand function and support daily activities.
Dupuytren’s Contracture: Hand Therapy and Recovery
Dupuytren’s contracture causes thickening and tightening of tissue in the palm, limiting finger movement. Our hand therapy approach focuses on improving finger mobility, reducing stiffness, and supporting hand function through custom splints, stretching exercises, and scar management.
Hand Therapy for Ganglion Cysts
Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled lumps commonly found near joints or tendons in the hand or wrist. At Healing Hands Hand Therapy, we provide conservative management options such as custom splinting and guidance on activity modification to reduce pain and improve mobility. For patients who undergo surgical removal, we offer post-operative rehabilitation to restore strength and function.
Hand Therapy for Trigger Finger
Trigger Finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) occurs when tendon inflammation narrows the tendon sheath, causing the finger to lock or catch. Treatment includes splinting, activity modification, anti-inflammatory modalities, and gentle stretching. In severe cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery may be necessary to release the tendon and restore normal finger function.
Hand Therapy for De Quervain's Syndrome
De Quervain's tenosynovitis causes pain and swelling at the base of the thumb, affecting the tendons that control thumb movement. Our hand therapy approach includes custom splinting, gentle stretching, strengthening exercises, and activity modification to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and restore full thumb and wrist function. These treatments help you return to your daily activities comfortably and safely.
Hand Therapy for Wounds, Scars, and Burns
Wounds, scars, and burns can impact both the function and appearance of your hand. Our hand therapy techniques—such as scar management, desensitisation, and compression therapy—are designed to reduce pain, soften scar tissue, and improve sensation. These treatments promote mobility, help prevent hypertrophic scars and keloids, and support the restoration of optimal hand function and appearance throughout the healing process.
Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow Treatment and Rehabilitation
Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow cause pain due to overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons. Our hand therapy approach includes using braces to reduce stress on the affected tendons, combined with stretching, strengthening exercises, and activity modification. These treatments help relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve elbow function to support a safe return to daily activities.
Hand Therapy for Sports-Related Injuries
Sporting injuries such as mallet finger, skier’s thumb, jersey finger, fractures, sprains, and ligament tears can cause pain and impair hand function. Hand therapy focuses on splinting, strengthening, joint mobilisation, and functional exercises to restore range of motion, stability, and support a safe return to sport.
Hand Therapy for Digital Nerve Injuries
Digital nerve injuries can cause numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation in the fingers. Post-repair hand therapy focuses on scar management, sensory re-education, and functional retraining. Treatment includes splinting, gentle exercises, and desensitisation techniques to improve nerve function, restore sensation, and promote optimal hand movement and dexterity.
