About · Marta Siekierska
Marta Siekierska Hand therapist, PTTR-accredited.
I am a physiotherapist working exclusively with the hand. I hold the accreditation of the Polish Society of Hand Therapy (PTTR), and I practise day to day inside a hand-surgery team — the way I lead patients comes from that intersection of precise diagnostics and surgery.
Since 2022 I have worked at Form Grupa Lekarska in Warsaw. I lead patients after flexor and extensor tendon repair, wrist ligament reconstructions (SL, LT, TFCC), nerve releases and fractures. I combine current post-operative protocols with Maitland and Mulligan manual therapy, dry needling, ultrasound biofeedback, Butler neural mobilisations and progressive loading — the tool is chosen after the assessment, never before it.
Thermoplastic and neoprene splints (Orfit, Orficast, ETDNO) are made on site — in the room, on your hand, for the specific stage of healing. They are not an add-on service, they are part of the same therapeutic decision I described to you twenty minutes earlier.
In parallel I work with the Polish women's national amputee-football team — with whom we took bronze at the 2024 World Championships in Colombia — and with the Legia Warsaw amp-football section. I regularly attend FESSH congresses and PTChR cadaver courses, and I am preparing for the CHT exam through the ASHT Virtual Hand to Shoulder Fellowship.
“Every hand carries its own story — the injury, the surgery, the job, the daily habits. My role isn't to fit it into a template, but to walk it back to what it has to do.”
