As an OT, CHT, one of my favorite places to find therapy tools? The impulse section by the checkout! 🥕🐰

This little carrot toy has a bunny that pops out with just the slightest amount of pressure—making it a fun and rewarding way to work on finger flexion, grip, coordination, and gaining those last few degrees of active range of motion.

As a Certified Hand Therapist, I’m always looking for creative ways to make repetitive movement more motivating. Sometimes the best “therapy equipment” isn’t expensive or complicated—it’s a simple toy that gives the patient immediate feedback and a reason to keep moving.

✨ Small movement + instant reward = a great way to encourage repetition!

At Prestige Hand & Physical Therapy, we focus on helping patients return to the everyday activities that matter most. 💪

This patient is working on improving shoulder internal rotation after injury—an important motion needed for everyday tasks such as:

• Pulling up pants
• Fastening a bra
• Washing or drying your back
• Toileting and personal hygiene
• Reaching behind your body comfortably

Functional rehabilitation helps bridge the gap between simply improving motion and actually using that motion in real-life activities. Our goal is to help patients regain the mobility, strength, and confidence they need to return to greater independence. (Prestige Hand and Physical Therapy LLC⁠)

If shoulder pain, weakness, or stiffness is interfering with your daily routine, our team can help.

Small Progressions. Big Victories.

Recovering from a flexor tendon repair isn’t about rushing—it’s about moving the right way at the right time.

This patient is following the St. John’s Early Active Motion Protocol after a small finger flexor tendon repair. At this stage, simple activities like picking up and transferring pom-poms may look easy, but they’re carefully chosen to restore function while protecting the healing tendon.

Why does this matter?

🟢 Promotes controlled tendon gliding
🟢 Helps minimize scar adhesions
🟢 Restores finger motion and coordination
🟢 Gradually rebuilds functional hand use while protecting the surgical repair

Flexor tendon rehabilitation is a delicate balance. Too much force too soon can risk the repair, while too little movement can lead to stiffness and loss of motion. That’s why each exercise is progressed based on the stage of healing and the patient’s individual recovery.

At Prestige Hand & Physical Therapy, our Certified Hand Therapists develop personalized rehabilitation programs that safely guide patients from surgery back to the activities that matter most.

Every movement has a purpose. Every repetition is one step closer to full function.

Clinical Note: Rehabilitation following flexor tendon repair should always follow the referring surgeon’s protocol. The St. John’s Early Active Motion Protocol is one evidence-based approach used when appropriate for the specific repair and patient.
