Hand Therapy
Struggling with Hand or Wrist Pain? Let’s Help You Get Back to What Matters.
From opening jars and typing at work to lifting your child or enjoying hobbies, your hands matter. We help you regain comfort, movement, and confidence with expert hand therapy in Croydon.
What is Hand Therapy?
Your hands are part of almost everything you do—buttoning a shirt, preparing meals, working in the garden, or climbing for sport or enjoyment. When pain or injury limits you, it can affect your confidence and independence.
Hand therapy is specialised care for your hand, wrist, fingers, and forearm to support recovery and help you return to your activities. It may include:
✅ Careful assessment to understand what’s causing your pain
✅ Hands-on treatment to ease discomfort and improve movement
✅ Custom splinting if needed to support healing
✅ Exercises tailored to your goals and daily needs
✅ Strategies to use your hand safely while it recovers
Many people think hand therapy is only for post-surgery care, but it also helps with thumb arthritis, wrist pain, tendon injuries, and finger problems. Early treatment often speeds up recovery and prevents ongoing issues.
A Personal Note on Hand Recovery
The hand may be small, but when it’s sore, it can affect your entire day. After tearing a TFCC ligament in my wrist, I know how challenging even simple tasks like lifting a cup or turning a key can feel.
Working in specialist hand clinics alongside surgeons showed me how the right support at the right time can help recovery. At Crux Physio, my goal is to help you find clear, manageable steps to protect your hand while it heals, reduce pain, and regain confidence in using it again—whether for work, family, hobbies, or climbing.
