Hand therapy for hand and wrist conditions

At B&B Healthcare, several of our physiotherapists specialise in hand therapy. Hand physiotherapy can help when you have problems in your hand or wrist—and, when relevant, the forearm. In the Netherlands, an average of 125,000 people are reported each year with hand and wrist conditions. Unfortunately, people with moderate hand or wrist problems often do not seek specialist help.

What is hand therapy?

Hand therapy is a specialised form of physiotherapy focused on complaints in the hand, wrist and forearm. Treatment aims to:

reduce pain
improve mobility
restore strength and function

Your hand therapist looks beyond the painful spot and examines:

how your hand moves
which structures are overloaded
how your complaint started

When is hand therapy suitable?

Hand therapy can help with complaints such as:

ongoing pain in the hand or wrist
stiffness or loss of strength
problems after surgery or a fracture
overuse from work or sports
difficulty gripping, pinching, or turning movements

Hand physiotherapy at B&B Healthcare: what does treatment look like?

Hand therapy is built around guided training and practical advice. Together, you work on improving how your hand functions in daily life.

Depending on your situation, therapy can include:

advice and home exercises
taping techniques
manual therapy (when appropriate)
splint therapy (a splint can support your recovery goals)

The duration and content of rehabilitation can vary depending on the severity of the injury. Often, the biggest improvement in function is made in the early phase—so your own effort (following advice and doing targeted exercises) matters most at the start.
