Hand therapy · Terapia ręki
You are in good hands.
HandLab is Marta Siekierska's private practice — a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT, Hand Therapy Certification Commission, USA), accredited by the Polish Society of Hand Therapy and a member of the American Society of Hand Therapists. She works day to day on the hand surgery team at Form Grupa Lekarska. She specialises in the latest methods of rehabilitation of the hand, wrist and finger joints after injuries and surgery. She makes thermoplastic splints — used to immobilise or mobilise the joints of the hand — as well as neoprene orthoses. Everything in one place — from assessment to home plan.
CHT — the global standard in hand therapy
CHT (Certified Hand Therapist) is the highest global credential in hand therapy, confirming advanced knowledge and practical skills in comprehensive rehabilitation of the entire upper limb — from shoulder, through wrist, to fingers. It covers functional diagnostics, manual therapy, custom splinting, pathology and surgical procedures knowledge, and patient education. The credential requires thousands of clinical hours and renewal every 5 years.
Narrow specialisation
The hand, wrist and fingers — and nothing else. Daily practice after tendon repair, SL, LT and TFCC ligament reconstruction, nerve releases and complex post-traumatic states.
Splints made for you
Orfit and Orficast thermoplastic splints and ETDNO neoprene shaped directly on your hand. Static, dynamic or static-progressive — always built for a specific stage of healing.
Decisions based on assessment
Maitland and Mulligan, dry needling, ultrasound biofeedback, Butler neural mobilisations, progressive loading. The tool is chosen after the functional assessment — never before.
In numbers
Craft, in numbers.
Numbers don't replace hands — but they show the experience behind every decision in the room.

Knowledge
Areas of work
Most patients come after sports injuries, surgery, or with chronic pain syndromes. Each of these areas has its own rhythm and its own protocols — below are a few I work with most often.
All areas →CRPS — Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Pain disproportionate to injury, swelling, skin changes and stiffness.
After flexor and extensor tendon repair
A post-op plan stage by stage — from splint to a full fist.
PIP joints — stiffness and post-injury limits
The most sensitive finger joint. It needs attention, time, and the right splint.
Splints and straps — fitted individually
Splints made to measure, with daily wear in mind.
“I treat every hand as a unique story — one that requires attentiveness, precision, and the kind of approach reserved for specialised care. Because true therapy begins when we stop treating a case and start understanding the person.”
— Marta Siekierska
