A Hand physiotherapist provides a non-surgical way of managing and treating hand-related injuries. This specialized branch of physical therapy is used to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate the hand following injury or illness.
The goal of physiotherapy on the hand is to restore the complete and normal function of the hand as well as reduce the likelihood of an injury occurring again. Your hand plays a vital role in your everyday activities so any hand or wrist injury can be incredibly debilitating and affect your quality of life. This makes proper hand physio extremely important.
The hand is complex and can be exposed to many types of problems due to the nature of how much we use them. From acute injuries of the wrist and fingers, to overuse problems such as tenosynovitis (inflamed outside layer of the tendon) to normal age-related issues such as osteoarthritis, it’s important to seek the right advice from our physiotherapists to improve your outcome.
Your hand physiotherapist will work closely with you to discover not only what is causing your hand problems, but also find the best way to deal with them, so that you can start retraining and using your hand normally again.
This is particularly common in the hands and wrists particularly in a normal aging-population. It’s name clearly refers to inflammation of the joints, but you may also encounter some ache, stiffness and a reduction in fine motor control. There are many types of arthritis, but the most common that you may experience are Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. With Osteoarthritis, the cartilage degrades due to wear and tear and is typically found in older adults. Rheumatoid arthritis on the other hand is a chronic autoimmune disease that typically affects multiple joints on both sides of the body.
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway formed by ligament, bone and tissue, and is responsible for the passing of multiple tendons, vessels and nerves that supply the hand and fingers. The carpal tunnel narrows when tendons become inflamed and swollen, which compresses the median nerve. As a result you may feel a range of neurological symptoms such as burning, numbness or tingling affecting the palm of the hand and the third and fourth fingers. In severe cases, the muscles at the base of the thumb can waste away which can affect your ability to grip.
Tenosynovitis refers to inflammation of the tendon sheath. This painful condition can be recognised by swelling and inflammation of the tendons leading to the thumb. This can cause noticeable weakness and pain with grasping items or making a pinching motion. More times than not, it’s related to overuse.
Melbourne CBD Physiotherapy practitioners can help our patients manage common hand injuries that occur on a daily basis. If you injure your hand during a fall, suffer an injury on the sporting field or have an accident at home, a hand physio can help guide your recovery.
Intricate management through a hand physiotherapy, can reduce the chance of fractures, sprains and strains going unnoticed, often resulting in structures healing poorly.
