Wrist and Hand Clinic
Your hands do almost everything: typing, cooking, writing, driving, holding a phone, caring for your family. When the wrist or hand hurts, becomes numb or loses strength, even simple tasks become frustrating. Hand problems also tend to get worse when ignored, and some, like nerve compression, can cause lasting damage.
The Wrist and Hand Clinic at Physiovista Healthcare Network provides specialist hand therapy for injuries, nerve problems, arthritis and post-surgical recovery. We restore pain-free movement, grip and fine finger control so you can return to the activities that matter to you.
About Our Wrist and Hand Clinic
The wrist and hand contain 27 bones, dozens of small joints, many tendons and three major nerves in a compact space. Because everything is so closely packed, a small problem such as swelling, a tight tendon sheath or a stiff joint can cause a large loss of function.
At our wrist and hand clinic, we combine assessment, splinting, exercise and technology in a single plan. Our therapists understand the demands of different people: the office worker with carpal tunnel syndrome, the homemaker with trigger finger, the musician with overuse pain and the labourer who has had a crush injury. We work closely with hand and orthopaedic surgeons whenever surgery is needed, and we manage the rehabilitation that follows.

Why Choose Physiovista for Hand Care?
What to Expect at Your First Hand Therapy Visit
Your first visit usually takes 45 to 60 minutes. We look at your hand and wrist, measure movement and grip, test sensation and discuss your daily and work tasks. If a splint is needed, we may make it on the same day. Please bring any X-rays, surgical notes and your current splint or cast instructions.
Between visits: keep your hand elevated when swollen, move the fingers that are free to move, avoid prolonged gripping and take regular breaks from typing and phone use. Follow splint instructions carefully, since wearing it at the wrong time can slow healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, in mild to moderate cases. Night splinting, activity changes, nerve gliding exercises and ergonomic advice help many people. Persistent numbness or muscle wasting may need a surgeon's opinion.
Wrists tend to bend during sleep, which squeezes the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. A neutral wrist splint is often the first step.
Trigger finger occurs when the tendon sheath at the base of a finger becomes thickened and the tendon catches. It is more common in people with diabetes or repetitive gripping tasks. Splinting and exercises can help.
Timing depends on the fracture and treatment. Therapy often starts early for fingers and after the surgeon approves movement for the wrist. Early guided movement usually gives a better outcome.
You may feel stretching discomfort, especially when regaining stiff joints, but therapy should be tolerable. We adjust techniques to your comfort and the stage of healing.
Yes. Joint protection, splints, exercise and heat therapy can reduce pain and preserve function in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Simple overuse problems can settle in weeks, while fractures and tendon repairs can take two to four months or longer. We will give you a realistic timeline after assessment.
