Flexor tendon repair hand therapy is a carefully guided journey 🖐️
After surgery, your hand therapist will:
🛡️ Custom-make a splint to protect the repair
📆 Prescribe the right exercises each week
📈 Progress load only as the tendon heals
Pushing too hard too early can risk rupturing the repair. Not moving enough can lead to stiffness.
Specialist hand therapy carefully balances protection and movement - helping your hand regain strength, control and confidence over time.
