Whatever's happened
to your hand.
Developing conditions like trigger finger or arthritis, an injury or fracture, or recovery after surgery: specialist Hand Therapy may help restore the movement, grip and function you rely on every day.
You don't have to
live with it.
Hand and finger problems like arthritis are often dismissed as part of getting older, or something to put up with. Specialist Hand Therapy can often reduce pain, restore movement and keep you doing the everyday things that matter, from opening a jar to a full day's work.
Having been told by more than one GP that I'd have to live with the effects of OA, the improvement is nothing short of transformational. I've regained about 80% of mobility in my affected fingers.
Conditions treated in the hand.
A proper assessment changes everything.
Ms Razo takes time to understand exactly when and how your symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, what treatments you have already had and what impact it is having on your life and function.
A thorough hands-on assessment of the hand, including grip, pinch and dexterity testing alongside structured clinical tests. Many hand conditions can often be identified through examination alone, without imaging.
Ms Razo will explain what she has found, what may be causing your symptoms and what the treatment options are. Many patients describe the clarity of a specialist diagnosis as a significant relief.
A personalised plan agreed from the outset, with clear goals and a realistic timeline. This may include custom splinting made and fitted in clinic, hands-on therapy and scar therapy, with onward referral coordinated where needed.
Hand questions, answered.
-
No. Many cases of triggering respond well to non-operative management including splinting, activity modification and Hand Therapy. Surgery is typically reserved for cases where conservative measures have not been successful, or for fixed triggering that cannot be passively corrected.
-
Yes. While Hand Therapy cannot reverse the structural changes of arthritis, it is highly effective at reducing pain, maintaining or improving joint mobility as well as helping patients manage their condition to remain functional and independent. The right combination of therapeutic interventions plus advice can make a significant difference to quality of life.
-
If left untreated, a mallet injury can result in permanent deformity of the thumb or finger, with the tip remaining in a drooped position. In some cases, a secondary 'swan neck' deformity can develop in the finger. Early treatment gives the best outcomes.
-
Recovery following open fasciectomy typically takes several weeks to months. Post-operative Hand Therapy begins within the first week. Full recovery of strength and dexterity can take longer, particularly in severe or recurrent cases.
-
No. You can refer yourself directly to Ms Razo without going through your GP. Same-week appointments are usually available.
There's no need to put up with it.
Book a specialist assessment with Ms Razo and leave with a clear diagnosis and a plan. Most people are seen within the same week.
