Specialist hand and wrist surgery clinic in Berkshire, UK

Hand Therapy

• Mr Rahimtoola has a specialist hand therapist who works along side him, offering physiotherapy and splinting services.

  Therapy is an essential, but often ignored, part of the recovery from hand surgery.

  This involves 1:1 sessions within a special hand therapy clinic or the physiotherapy department, ensuring that all post-surgical hand procedures and hand injuries have a comprehensive follow-up in order to regain maximum function.

  Treatment involves:

  • Wound assessment
  • Splintage
  • Advice and education
  • Specific exercise programmes
  • Mobilisation of joints and soft tissues
  • Electrotherapy
  • Acupuncture
