Before your appointment
Bring operation notes and the surgeon’s movement restrictions. The therapist may assess swelling, scars, sensation and splint needs.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- Therapy follows tissue-healing stages and practical hand-use goals.
- Hospital stay
- Often outpatient. Inpatient rehabilitation is a separate care setting chosen according to medical, nursing and functional needs.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Start with an assessment, then agree the number and length of supervised sessions and review points. Request the actual weekly timetable; home practice is not counted as a hospital visit.
- Recovery and travel planning
- Do not progress exercises beyond the agreed repair protocol. Follow-up adjusts splints and exercise as healing and function change.
