Musician's Hand
Musician's hand rehabilitation is a specialized form of therapy that aims to restore the strength, flexibility, and function of a musician's hand and wrist after an illness or injury. Musician's hand rehabilitation can be used to treat common injuries among musicians, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis and other disorders related to repetitive hand movements.
The goal of musician's hand rehabilitation is to help patients regain strength, flexibility, and precision of the hand and wrist, improve their musical technique preventing further damage or injury. In addition, musician's hand rehabilitation can help patients reduce pain, improve posture and breathing, and increase body awareness during musical performance.
