With 27 bones, 29 joints, 123 ligaments and 34 muscles, our hands are an incredible feat of biological engineering. As physiotherapists, our hands are one of the tools
of our trade. We have been taught how to take care of them and we’d like to teach you!
Hands are one of the most used parts of our body, so is it any wonder they sometimes become injured? Common injuries, including strains and sprains, can affect the joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons.
Common hand & wrist injuries
Injuries we often see at goPhysio in the hand & wrist include:
- Rehabilitation after fractures
- DeQuervains tenosynovitis
- Repetitive strains or ‘Work Related Upper Limb Disorders’
- Overuse injuries
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Stress fractures
- Wrist strains
Such injuries can often be common in musicians, office based workers and those people who play sports such as golf, tennis, badminton or other racquet sports. They are becoming even more commonplace with the evolution of technology and the use of tablets and smartphones.
With an accurate diagnosis, physiotherapy treatment for hand and wrist injuries can be very effective.
