Tailored Physiotherapy for Upper Limb & Hand Conditions
At Restored Eden Physiotherapy, we treat a wide range of upper limb and hand issues, including:
-
Post-stroke upper limb weakness
-
Shoulder and elbow stiffness
-
Hand mobility loss
-
Neurological motor control impairments
-
Injury-related movement restrictions
-
Post-surgical rehabilitation
Each case is different, which is why your recovery plan is completely personalised to suit your condition, lifestyle, and goals.
Why Arm & Hand Recovery Needs a Different Approach
Unlike lower limbs, the upper limbs recover more slowly and require greater intensity of retraining. Arms and hands are responsible for fine motor tasks, such as dressing, eating, typing, and gripping. After illness or injury, regaining these skills demands highly structured, consistent practice.
That’s where our repetition-based rehabilitation model comes in. We integrate repeated functional tasks, hands-on physiotherapy, and neurological techniques to achieve measurable progress.
Our Treatment Methods - Designed for Lasting Results
We use proven and progressive techniques that support healing, movement, and independence.
Stretching & Mobility Work
We begin with gentle movements to increase flexibility and joint range, targeting the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand.
Strengthening Exercises
Using functional movements, resistance bands, and targeted training, we help rebuild muscle power throughout the upper body.
Fine Motor Skill Activities
We guide you through exercises designed to restore dexterity, including:
-
Gripping and releasing
-
Writing or using cutlery
-
Buttoning clothing
-
Handling small items
Task-Specific Training
Re-learning daily tasks is key to independence. We focus on realistic, achievable goals like:
-
Reaching for shelves
-
Carrying shopping bags
-
Opening jars or doors
Neurological Rehabilitation Techniques
If your condition is linked to stroke or nerve damage, we may include techniques such as:
-
Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)
-
Bilateral Training (using the unaffected limb to guide the affected side)
-
Nerve Gliding Exercises (particularly for radial nerve issues)
Manual Therapy & Massage
Our physiotherapists use soft tissue techniques to reduce pain, ease tension, and promote blood flow to aid recovery.
What to Expect From Your Upper Limb Rehab Programme
Your dedicated hand, arm and shoulder physiotherapist in Southampton will conduct a comprehensive assessment and create a step-by-step programme that includes:
-
Therapeutic handling to guide correct movement patterns
-
Repetition of key exercises to build muscle memory
-
Home exercise guidance to accelerate progress
-
Progress reviews to adapt treatment as needed
You’ll also receive support and education on how to manage your symptoms between sessions.

-
Stroke-related upper limb weakness

How long does upper limb rehabilitation take?
Recovery time depends on the severity of your condition and how consistently you follow your programme. Some people see improvement within weeks, while neurological cases may take several months of structured rehab.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You can contact us directly to book your assessment.
Can I still benefit if my injury happened a long time ago?
Yes. Even chronic conditions can improve with the right guidance and repetition. We’ll assess your movement and design a plan that meets you where you are.
