What is Pediatric Hand Therapy?
Certified pediatric hand therapists focus on increasing the strength and functionality of the hands in children. Pediatric hand therapists concentrate on conditions that most often cause movement difficulties in children, including congenital defects and causes of developmental delays. The anatomy and biomechanics of children are different from adults, and being aware of how to correctly employ age-appropriate physical therapy techniques for children is vital to achieving the best outcomes.
Pediatric hand therapists will teach your child simple movements to improve their mobility and function. This is through simple stretches and therapeutic exercises that can be performed in the office and at home. In addition to this, our certified hand therapists may recommend splints, taping, manual therapy techniques, or other methods to target any areas of difficulty.
For each child, we design a specialized rehabilitation plan in the same way for which we design a plan for an adult. We take into account the diagnosis, current condition, long-term goals, lifestyle, individual anatomy, and advice from additional medical professionals you may be working with to tailor a program for your child’s needs. Each program will have a combination of non-surgical rehabilitation methods that work in tandem to alleviate symptoms and promote lasting rehabilitation. When it comes to physical therapy, the best results are those that can be sustained. We will educate you on your child’s conditions and provide resources to continue certified hand therapy methods at home. This will help to push forward progress over long periods of time and prevent stalling once you reach the end of your child’s in-office rehabilitation program.
While the types of conditions we treat vary, common conditions that we see in our pediatric patients include:
-
- Congenital hand deformities
- Sports injuries
- Joint disorders
- Neuromuscular disorders
- Peripheral nerve conditions
