Post-Fracture Hand & Wrist Rehab
From cast removal to full grip strength.
After a hand, wrist, or forearm fracture, prolonged immobilization leaves the joints stiff and the muscles deconditioned. Structured PT systematically restores motion, strength, and dexterity — far faster than recovering on your own.
