Hand therapy when more than the hand is involved
Many real-life plans include nearby areas — wrist with elbow, shoulder with grip work, or opposite-side compensation. This page explains what the product does today (hand-first education and sessions) and what a future co-injury mode would need — without pretending we already built full multi-region prescribing.
Hand-heavy jobs and regional load
Trades, clinical shifts, and desk days often pair shoulder or elbow symptoms with grip work — compare education profiles, not clearance.
Practice libraries beside co-injury education
Regional load articles stay educational — open timed sessions and movement names in their hubs with filters cleared unless your team assigned a specific drill.
What you can use today
- The Learn hub for symptoms, splints, and anatomy that often pair with hand complaints.
- Movement library for therapist-style motion concepts that still assume you filter through your own clearance.
- Guided sessions and microdoses that respect stop rules — then log how the whole arm feels, not only the hand digits.
What a future co-injury mode would add
Product research points toward richer multi-area plans: separate progress per region, fatigue caps across sessions, and clearer "primary vs secondary" injury tagging. Those require clinician-grade configuration — we list them here so expectations stay honest while the hand-first library grows.
Practical takeaway for patients
If another area is flared, bias recovery-first pacing and shorter sessions. Escalate when numbness spreads, pain sharpens, or swelling jumps — the same red-flag posture as the rest of the app.
