Does hand therapy hurt?

With hand therapy physiotherapy treatment, you might experience a slight increase of pain and discomfort in your hand muscles at first. Indeed, your hand therapy will aim to make your weakened muscles work via exercises and manipulation, which can make them a bit sore for a couple days before disappearing.

All along your hand therapy recovery journey, as they strengthen your hand muscles will feel less and less sore after your hand therapy sessions. If you experience a constant increase of discomfort or pain in your hand or upper limb that doesn’t go away, please seek advice from your hand therapist.
