After surgery for a broken wrist, my Consultant was unhappy with the progress I had made on discharge and suggested I should do everything I could to improve my hand movement otherwise I would lose the use of it. I luckily saw an advert for 'Houghton Hand Therapy' in our local magazine and thought I would give it a go.

I found Lynn to be extremely friendly and professional. Her knowledge of the workings of the hand was great and she showed an interest in helping me regain movement. 

The first consultation was to establish what I could and couldn't do and to decide on some initial exercises. I continued with weekly/fortnightly sessions at which Lynn monitored my progress, added new exercises and also massaged the scar tissue and surrounding painful areas to release the tension. Videos of the exercises were emailed to me as well. Lynn also provided me with a molded splint to wear at night to keep my hand in the best position, which she readjusted at further sessions.

The swelling in my hand has now decreased, along with drastically improved feeling and usage. I am now able to drive again and can manage most things in daily life, although Lynn has expressed the need to continue with the exercises for possibly up to 12 months, in order to achieve full movement and strength.

I would definitely recommend Lynn's practice for any hand issues.

I am so grateful to you Lynn and I now feel positive for the future. Thank you so much and good luck with the little 'Spikes'. 😉

I visited the clinic with a quite specific complaint relating to movement of my right-hand fingers, which had badly affected my ability to play classical guitar. Previously, I had been unable to find any examples of the problem online, or any effective ways to alleviate it. Lynn provided excellent advice on the cause of the problem as well as very effective tools and exercises for treatment, both of which have been effective. I'm glad I visited, and would recommend the clinic to anyone with similar problems.

I was struggling to play my musical instrument due to MS affecting my hand. Lynn helped me with exercises to regain and maintain the strength and a bespoke splint to avoid the joint locking that caused playing problems intermittently.
Very happy to recommend Lynn as I have discovered hand health is so important.

I'm very grateful for Lynn's help and expertise in addressing my work-related wrist and hand pain. The custom wrist splints she made for intersection syndrome have made a real difference in my recovery. Lynn's been able to identify underlying factors contributing to the problem and has helped me work towards long-term strengthening to prevent recurrence. I wish I had visited Lynn at the start of my injury. I'm really pleased with the improvement in my wrists and can highly recommend Lynn's practice.

Being unable to get NHS treatment, due to Lockdown following surgery on my hand, I am so please I found Lyn, if not I truly believe I would have been in serious trouble regaining any use of the hand, very patient and understanding.

I had my first consultation with Lynn Houghton in June of this year after a wrist fracture in September 2019 left me with very restricted wrist movement and very poor grip in my hand and fingers.  Previously I had attended NHS physiotherapy and weekly private physio sessions with only slight improvement.

On my first session with Lynn it was suggested that I wear a splint, to be worn at night in bed.  The splint was moulded to my wrist and would be adjusted by Lynn on my next visit.  On my second visit to Lynn two weeks later there was a noticeable improvement in my wrist. On subsequent visits to Lynn the splint was altered and different exercises were recomended.

I have been attending Lynn's clinic for three months on a fortnightly basis and have seen improvement in finger movement and grip and wrist movement.

Thanks Lynn.
