Hands That Heal, Hands That Work

Our hands are essential for almost every daily activity, from eating and dressing to working and playing. Hand therapy is a specialized area of rehabilitation that focuses on treating conditions affecting the hands and upper extremities.

At Sajjad Rehabilitation & Therapy Centre, we provide expert care to help you recover from hand injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions, ensuring you can use your hands effectively again.

Role of Hand Therapy

Hand therapy bridges the gap between medical treatment and functional recovery. Our goal is to rebuild grip strength, pinch control, and fine motor precision so the hand can perform tasks without pain.

We focus on:

  • Reducing pain and swelling
  • Improving range of motion
  • Strengthening grip and pinch
  • Fine motor rehabilitation for precise hand use
  • Desensitizing sensitive scars

Why Specialized Care Matters?

The hand is a complex structure with many small bones, nerves, and tendons packed into a small space. Specialized hand therapy ensures that treatment is precise and effective, preventing long-term stiffness or loss of function.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does stiffness and swelling last after hand surgery or fracture?

Stiffness and swelling are most noticeable in the early weeks. In many patients, swelling reduces gradually over several weeks, but mild swelling can continue for months. After wrist or hand fractures, many people return to most daily activities in about 3 months, while full recovery can continue up to 1 year depending on injury severity and therapy consistency.

Is hand therapy useful for tendon injuries?

Yes. Tendon rehabilitation is essential after repair. Recovery commonly needs around 12 weeks of protected, stepwise therapy with splinting, tendon-gliding exercises, and progressive strengthening to reduce stiffness and prevent tendon adhesions.

Is mild pain or tingling normal during hand therapy exercises?

Mild stretch discomfort can be normal during rehabilitation, especially early in recovery. But sharp pain, worsening numbness, increasing swelling, or symptoms that stay elevated after exercise are warning signs and should be reviewed immediately so the program can be adjusted safely.

Do you treat carpal tunnel syndrome in Patna, and how long is recovery after release surgery?

Yes. We treat carpal tunnel with therapist-guided exercises and activity modification before and after surgery. Many patients resume routine hand use in about 4 to 6 weeks, but scar tenderness, grip weakness, or nerve-symptom recovery may continue for several months.

When can I return to gym, heavy work, or sports after hand surgery?

Return timing varies by procedure and healing speed. Light activities are often restarted early, but gripping, lifting, push-ups, and contact sports usually need a gradual return over several weeks. For many patients, heavier loading is reintroduced only after clinical review confirms wound healing, pain control, and enough grip strength.

Is a hard or tender scar area normal after hand surgery?

A firm or sensitive scar area can be common in the first few months as tissues remodel. Scar massage, desensitization, and guided hand therapy usually improve this over time. However, increasing redness, warmth, drainage, or worsening pain should be checked promptly.
