Hand therapy is the non-surgical management of hand disorders and injuries using physical methods such as exercise, splinting and wound care. Hand therapists also treat other upper limb disorders that affect hand function.

Our hand therapists also undertake diagnosis and treatment of common hand disorders, including injections and requesting and interpretation of x-rays.

Hand therapy brings together techniques of occupational therapy (scar management, retraining, splinting, advice on activities of daily living) and physiotherapy (joint mobilisations, stretching, active and resisted exercises, ultrasound). The hand therapist can assist with emotional and psychological support, as well as with restoration of hand function.

Hand therapy has a crucial role in the recovery from injury of the hand or wrist, and in the recovery from hand surgical operations. Hand therapy is integrated into the hand surgery team.

Mrs Isobel Heppenstall
(She/Her/Hers) Bsc (hons) MSc Physiotherapy, BAHT

Issy qualified in 2000 from King’s College London. Since graduating she has worked in several NHS settings at a senior level, specialising firstly in trauma and orthopaedics, then splitting her time between private and NHS settings treating musculoskeletal injuries. She has worked in semi- professional rugby.

Her specialist interests include neck, upper limb and hand injuries. She has a high level of experience in all hand injuries and management. Issy is our lead clinician, she set up the practice after noticing a lack of quality in the private sector of physio. After hearing one too many times “physios just give exercises” she made the leap from the NHS to change people’s opinion by offering a high quality hands-on service she knew physios could do. In 2017 Issy completed her masters in advanced diagnostics allowing her to interpret and order scans, blood tests and a range of diagnostic “doctor-things”.

In over 20 years she has seen a high volume of patients ranging from complex issues and post op rehab to little niggles. Her sunny nature means she often cheers up her clients and gives them the gentle push to get better. She has 2 sporty teenagers so is great with kids and their injuries.
