Hand therapists are physiotherapists or occupational therapists who specialise in the assessment and treatment of the hand and the upper limb. At Six Physio our Specialist Hand Clinic consists of 3 physiotherapists Jennifer, Becky and Allison working across of 4 Clinics.
To support this ever-growing service we have 5 Physios with a Special interest in Hands, who are able to treat a wide-range of hand injuries: Alex, Gus, Kimberley, Lisa & Miraj.
Our specialists can help with problems which arise through trauma to the hand such as fractures, ligament injuries, tendon or nerve injuries. These injuries would be managed alongside a hand surgeon (whom we know many and can assist with arranging this too if required), and can be treated conservatively or operatively depending on the severity.
We have the facilities to make custom-made splints that are fitted to your hand to optimise your comfort while you heal. This means that only the injured part of your hand is protected, and allows a bit of movement of the rest of your hand should this be allowed.
The treatment and management of general aches and pains of the hand and wrist is another area we specialise in:
Having a thorough hand and wrist assessment with a specialist hand physiotherapist will enable them to create a tailored treatment plan for you: the aim to restore your function and minimise pain as quickly as possible, enabling you to get back to what you like to do!
At Six Physio we have a full gym set up so we can progress your rehabilitation to high levels if this is what you want to be able to do.
If you have surgery to your hand from trauma or from a chronic condition which you have chosen to have a surgical intervention for, we are able to manage all of the post operative care including wound management, suture removal and scar care at the same time as the therapeutic intervention.
If you would like to speak to any of the team directly then please call 020 7036 0286 or email and they will get back to you by return.
