How hand therapy
may help.
Rehabilitation is guided by fracture stability, physician instructions, time since injury and your symptoms. Treatment may include edema management, gentle mobility, scar care after surgery, tendon gliding, progressive strengthening and task-based retraining when appropriate.
Follow your surgeon or treating clinician’s restrictions carefully. Increased deformity, severe pain, progressive numbness or circulation concerns require prompt medical attention.

Frequently asked
questions.
When can therapy begin after a wrist fracture?
Timing depends on the injury, casting or fixation and physician clearance. Some movement can begin early, while loading may need to wait until sufficient healing.
Why is my hand stiff after the cast comes off?
Immobilization, swelling and healing tissues can limit movement. Your therapist can help build a safe, progressive plan based on your stage of recovery.
