Year 11 & 12 students, is handwriting speed or legibility affecting exam performance? 🖐️ Ben, our Senior Occupational Therapist and Practitioner in Hand Therapy at Werribee, can help.

We offer tailored handwriting packages, and can post or email any required documents ahead of your appointment.

A Zone II (2) flexor tendon injury is a complex hand injury that often requires surgery and a carefully structured rehabilitation program.
After surgery, the tendons need to be protected while also being moved early to prevent stiffness and scar tissue from limiting movement. This is why working closely with an experienced hand therapist is so important.

Your recovery may involve:

🩹 A protective splint
🤲 Gentle, guided movement in the early stages
💪 Gradually increasing movement and function
🏋️ Strengthening later in your recovery
👷 A staged return to work, sport and everyday activities plan

Recovery takes months rather than weeks, and your rehabilitation program will change as your tendon heals.

If you’ve had a flexor tendon repair and haven’t had your rehabilitation reviewed recently, it may be worth checking in with a hand therapist to make sure your recovery is progressing as it should.

👉️ Need a reassessment? Book an appointment with Melbourne Hand Rehab and let’s review your progress, movement and next steps.

Always follow the specific rehabilitation protocol provided by your surgeon and hand therapist, as every repair is different.
