Both occupational therapists (OTs) and physiotherapists (PTs) help people recover movement. Hand therapy is a specialty practice — often delivered by OTs with advanced hand skills — focused on the intricate anatomy of the hand and functional use.
Where hand therapy specialises
- Custom thermoplastic orthosis fabrication
- Tendon and nerve protocol management
- Fine motor and activities-of-daily-living retraining
- Burn and scar programs for the hand
- Sensory re-education
Working as a team
Complex cases may involve surgeons, OTs, PTs, and nursing wound care together. What matters most is that someone experienced in hand protocols guides your splinting and exercise plan.
REKA’s focus
REKA provides specialised hand therapy, burn rehabilitation, and scar management with custom splinting — not general gym-style rehab alone.
Educational information only. It does not replace assessment by a qualified clinician. Seek urgent care for severe pain, infection signs, sudden loss of sensation, or circulation changes.
