3. Are hand therapy services covered by insurance?
Hand therapy may be claimable under certain insurance plans in Singapore. Coverage depends on your specific policy and insurer. We recommend checking with your provider before your visit to confirm your entitlements.
4. Is hand therapy the same as physiotherapy?
Not quite. Hand therapy is a specialised area of occupational therapy focused on the hand, wrist, elbow, and upper limb. It targets functional use, fine motor skills, dexterity, and sensory recovery. We are also trained to custom-make splints for protection or function.
5. Will you communicate with my doctor or specialist?
Yes. We send your doctor an initial evaluation report and periodic progress updates. If any concerns arise during your therapy, we’ll get in touch with them directly.
6. How long does hand therapy take for full recovery?
It varies based on your condition, the severity, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients recover in a few sessions; others may need several months. You’ll receive a personalised plan with a projected timeline after your first session.
7. How often do I need to come for therapy?
Most clients attend 1–2 sessions per week. We regularly review your progress and adjust the frequency based on how you’re doing.
8. How long is each hand therapy session?
• Initial session: 1 to 1.5 hours (includes assessment and treatment)
• Follow-up sessions: 45 minutes to 1 hour
Duration may vary depending on your treatment plan.
9. What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring any relevant medical reports, X-rays, operation notes, splints or braces, and your medication list if available. Wear loose, comfortable clothing so we can assess your upper limb easily.
10. Do you offer customised splints or braces?
Yes. We fabricate custom-made splints to support healing, reduce pain, or improve function — tailored to your condition and goals.
11. Is hand therapy painful?
We aim to reduce your pain, not increase it. Some exercises may feel slightly uncomfortable as you regain movement or strength, but we will always work within your tolerance.
12. Can I return to work or sports during therapy?
Yes, many clients continue with daily activities while in therapy. We’ll guide you on safe ways to resume work, sport, or hobbies — and help you modify tasks to avoid setbacks.
13. Do you accept walk-ins?
Kindly call us and check with our availability before making your way to the clinic.
