Manual Therapy and Massage:
Pain in the hands can often be related to adherent structures, nerve compression, and inflamed or tight tissues. Massage as well as manual therapy techniques can be utilized to increase range of motion, reduce scar tissue and decrease compression of neural structures.
Stretching:
Increased flexibility and joint range of motion are critical to full use and function of the hand.
