Your hands are your connection to the world—you rely on them for everything from gripping the steering wheel to tying your shoes. So when pain, numbness, or stiffness sets in, it can derail your daily routine and limit your independence.
Hand therapy is a specialized service that bridges the gap between physical therapy and rehabilitation for the hand, wrist, and forearm. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with overuse symptoms, or managing a chronic condition, the right therapy can get you back to doing what you love. Contact us to learn how our certified hand therapists in Edmonds can help you heal.
Common Conditions Treated by Hand Therapy
Our skilled team uses evidence-based techniques to treat a wide range of upper extremity conditions, including:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Tendonitis and overuse injuries
- Trigger Finger
- Arthritis in the hand or wrist
- Post-surgical recovery (e.g., fractures, tendon repairs)
- Nerve compression syndromes
- Joint stiffness and mobility loss
- Hand or wrist sprains and strains
Each diagnosis requires a tailored approach based on your goals, lifestyle, and healing phase.
How We Personalize Your Recovery
No two hands are the same, which is why each care plan we create is personalized to your lifestyle and goals. We begin by understanding how your symptoms show up in your daily life—whether it’s typing, holding a cup, or doing detailed tasks like knitting or fixing things around the house.
Depending on what you need, we may use joint and tissue work to ease tension, guide you through gentle nerve glides to restore smooth motion, or create a supportive custom splint to protect healing areas. We also help you rebuild strength and coordination through everyday activities that matter most to you.
Our goal is simple: help you move with less pain, more control, and the confidence to get back to the things you love.
Why Choose Hand Therapy Over Generic Rehab?
The hand and wrist are complex. Generic rehab often misses the nuance needed for long-term improvement. Certified hand therapists (CHTs) undergo extensive training in upper extremity care, offering a level of insight that general physical therapy might not provide.
In our Edmonds clinic, we work one-on-one with patients to:
- Identify the source of dysfunction with precision
- Create clear, achievable milestones
- Blend clinical skill with compassion and encouragement
We also understand how hand injuries affect not just performance, but confidence and independence. Our goal is to help you feel stronger and more capable in every task that matters to you.
Do You Need a Referral for Hand Therapy?
In most cases, you can begin treatment without a referral, though certain insurance plans may require one. We’ll help you navigate the process and make it as seamless as possible.
Not sure if hand therapy is right for you? We offer consultations to evaluate your needs and build a personalized recovery plan.
Support That Extends Beyond the Clinic
Recovery from a hand or wrist injury doesn’t stop when the session ends. We equip you with at-home exercises, ergonomic tips, and functional modifications that reduce strain and build confidence between visits. Whether you’re typing at a desk all day, returning to a hobby like painting or cooking, or navigating household tasks with more ease, our goal is to make your daily experience better.
We also collaborate with referring providers, orthopedic surgeons, and your broader care team to ensure you’re supported from every angle. Our therapy doesn’t happen in a silo—we’re committed to comprehensive care that sees the big picture.
