Hand Therapy

Hand Therapy

Hand therapy has a vital role in the recovery from injury of the hand or wrist, and in the recovery from surgical operations. It is the non-surgical management of hand disorders and injuries using physical methods such as exercise.

Whether it is hand cramps, wrist pain, arthritis or tendinitis, at some point in your life it is highly likely that you will experience some sort of hand or wrist pain caused by physical activity and the wear and tear of the ageing process. Stress issues in the hands and wrist are common amongst those who frequently perform tasks with the hand in the closed position. Every day the flexor muscles in the palm and wrist are continuously exposed to varying amounts of gripping and squeezing giving the muscles that close the hand significant dominance over the muscles that open the hands which originate in the elbow and forearm. Over time this produces an unnatural imbalance and forces the hands to operate mostly in a closed position.

Here at PhysioSupplies we have a selection of hand therapy products including the Hand Grip Exerciser, Sports Gyrociser, Exercise Putty, Hand Grip Trainer and Hand Trainer Kit to name just a few.

Featured here is our Xtensor and a simple daily workout with this helps to stimulate the finger extensor muscles and tendons and quickly rebalances the strength and flexibility in the hands and fingers. The Xtensor is the only product on the market which performs with true biochemical correctness and is able to stimulate the muscles and tendons in the hands, wrists and elbows which previous devices have failed to target.
