It’s really easy to take your hands and upper limbs for granted…until there’s a problem. That’s where specialised hand therapy comes in.
It’s only when your hands aren’t functioning well that you realise you use them for nearly all your daily activities, including cleaning your teeth, working at your computer, making food and even gesturing to communicate with friends and family (no, not the rude gestures).
When your hand function is restricted it’s not only painful, it can also affect your mental health and well-being. That’s why we offer hand therapy here in Mold, North Wales to get your hands working freely and pain-free.
We’re highly experienced at assessing and treating hands, including how all the teeny, tiny bones and muscles work together (it’s magic). It’s a highly complex area of physiotherapy that we’re proud to offer here at Grosvenor Street Physiotherapy in Mold.
