Hand Therapy is a specialized type of care targeting 
injuries affecting the upper limbs, such as hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders. Physiotherapists or occupational therapists assess and treat injuries and conditions of the upper limbs using multiple approaches. 

These approaches include home exercise prescriptions, education, wound and scar tissue care, splinting, and adaptation of activities for daily living and/or work-related postures to help people return to higher levels of function.
