Your hand therapy treatment plan will begin with an in-depth assessment that includes measuring functional grips, pinches, range of motion, and strength.

After the initial assessment, your physiotherapist will develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals. Your plan may include education, exercise, manual therapy, and/or modalities, as required.
