Broken Hand Therapy
While there are many different conditions that can be treated by a hand therapist, one of the most common and one that needs a little extra attention is a broken hand. The hand has many small bones that provide for a variety of movements and functions, because of their size and the amount of use they get, they can be very susceptible to fracture – especially for athletes. Before seeking any physical therapy broken hand exercises, it’s crucial that your bone be set so it can heal properly. This will require a period of immobilization so the bone can mend back together. The body is a marvelous machine that is able to heal itself, but it does require time and patience. It’s difficult to not have full use of your hand but the proper care, rest, and broken hand physical therapy exercises will help you return to normal function.

Because a broken hand is a serious injury, there will be some customized physical therapy exercises after broken hand that are recommended by your therapist. The goal is not just to resume normal activities and build strength but also to support healing. Seeing a hand therapist immediately after your hand has been set will set the stage for future care and a therapy program once immobilization is complete.
