East Kent Hand Therapy

The East Kent hand surgeons work closely with an excellent team of experienced hand therapists, including the past Chair of the British Association of Hand Therapists.

East Kent has a number of Advanced Practice experienced hand therapists that can evaluate and identify problems affecting the upper limbs. Advanced Practice hand therapists often undertake the initial assessment of patients. They can provide advice regarding exercise, preventative care, aids to daily living, ergonomic consultation or discuss surgery if appropriate.

The East Kent hand therapy team works alongside the surgeons, planning and implementing post-operative care in order to hasten patients’ recovery following surgery.
