Regaining Function with Hand Therapy
Your hands are one of the most complex and delicate bone structures in your body. Because your hands are so intricate, they require a different, specialized form of rehabilitation following a serious injury, such as a fracture or a burn, or surgery.
Common injuries to the hand include fractures, sprains, burns, work injuries, athletic injuries, arthritis and carpel tunnel syndrome. Patients are often referred to a trained hand therapist following any type of joint reconstruction surgery. During postoperative recovery, physical therapy can help patients modify daily living activities to allow the joint reconstruction to heal properly.
At Bon Secours In Motion Physical Therapy, our experienced physical therapy methods for hand injuries are tailored specifically to each patient. After a thorough physical examination of our patients with hand conditions, our experts will design a treatment plan that may include: manual therapy, desensitization techniques, splinting, joint protection, ergonomic positioning, and scar management techniques. Patients suffering from chronic hand pain or a traumatic hand injury can have difficulty completing day-t0-day tasks. With these exercises our patients see a dramatic improvement in range of motion, pain relief, and coordination.
If you are suffering from chronic hand pain or have a hand injury that requires rehabilitation through physical therapy treatment, contact one of our seven hand therapy locations in Hampton Roads, throughout Hampton, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach.
