What is upper limb rehabilitation?
Upper limb rehabilitation at Physio Matters focuses on restoring movement, strength, and function in the shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, and hand—particularly following neurological injury or complex trauma. It is tailored to individuals with conditions such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, or post-surgical recovery.
Our specialist neurological physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques to improve:
- Muscle strength and control
- Joint mobility and range of motion
- Hand function and dexterity
- Sensory awareness and coordination
- Pain management and spasticity reduction
We offer a combination of hands-on therapy, task-specific training, electrical stimulation, mirror therapy, and functional activities to help clients regain independence in everyday tasks like dressing, eating, and writing.
Upper limb rehabilitation is often integrated with Physio Active, hydrotherapy, and posture management to support whole-body recovery and maximise outcomes.
Upper limb rehabilitation focuses on restoring movement, strength, and function in the shoulder, arm, and hand following neurological injury, trauma, or surgery. At Physio Matters, we take a personalised, evidence-based approach to help clients regain independence and confidence in daily tasks.
Rehabilitation begins with a detailed assessment of movement patterns, muscle tone, joint range, and functional ability. Based on this, our expert physiotherapists design a tailored programme that may include task-specific training, neuromuscular re-education, strengthening exercises, and sensory integration.
We focus on meaningful goals—whether it’s dressing, cooking, or returning to work—and track progress closely. Rehabilitation may also involve splinting, orthotics, or coordination with occupational therapists to maximise outcomes.
Our aim is to restore purposeful movement, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. With specialist knowledge and a compassionate approach, we support each client’s journey toward functional recovery.
