Hand Therapy – Helping You Regain Strength and Independence

Our Approach

At CN Rehab, we know how important your hands are for everyday life. Whether it’s getting dressed, making a cup of tea, or handling money, having full use of your hands makes all the difference. That’s why our hand therapy services focus on helping you regain as much function as possible, as quickly as possible.

Often, people receive therapy for their legs but find that their arms and hands are overlooked. This can happen due to a lack of specialist equipment or expertise. Our dedicated hand therapy programme ensures that your upper limb gets the attention it needs, helping you regain independence and confidence in daily activities.

Specialist Hand Therapy Assessments

We use the latest rehabilitation technology to assess a range of factors, including:

  • Spasticity and muscle tone
  • Range of movement
  • Force and grip strength – in both the whole hand and individual fingers

Once we understand your unique needs, we design a tailored programme with targeted hand therapy exercises. These are designed to improve movement, coordination, and overall function in your hand, arm, and shoulder. We use advanced techniques, including robotic support, anti-gravity therapy, EMG, and electrical stimulation, to help you get the best possible results.

Supporting Hands Affected by Arthritis and Other Conditions

We work with a range of conditions, from hands affected by arthritis to neurological and musculoskeletal challenges. Our expert therapists provide specialist hand pain therapy and support for individuals recovering from:

  • Stroke
  • Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

  • Other conditions affecting hand function

Personalised Hand Therapy Treatments

How often should you do hand therapy?

Hand therapy frequency varies by condition and goals, but generally, 2-3 sessions per week are ideal for consistent progress in strength, flexibility, and functionality.

Hand therapy varies depending on individual needs, injury type, and goals. Some patients notice progress in weeks, while complex cases may require months. Therapists regularly assess progress, adjusting plans for optimal results. Following prescribed home exercises can enhance recovery. For a tailored timeframe, consult our specialists who provide realistic estimates based on your unique condition.
