OUR TREATMENT

Treatment often begins within a few days following injury or surgery.

It may be important that you attend therapy on the day of referral post-operatively, as delays can affect your long-term outcome.

Splinting is an important aspect of hand therapy. Splints can be used to protect, immobilise, support or mobilise joints following injury or surgery.
