Upper limb rehabilitation

The hand is one of the most complex and hardest-working parts of the body.

Connected to the elbow and shoulder, it is a functional and expressive part of everyday life — which is why it deserves a dedicated specialisation and constant study. Every treatment is tailored to ease pain, restore function and help you regain independence in daily life.

About

Physiotherapist specialised in hand and upper limb rehabilitation.

I have practised since 2015, the year I graduated in Bologna. I trained in Antwerp, Belgium, and earned two Master's degrees: in orthopaedic-sports musculoskeletal rehabilitation (Genoa, 2016) and in Specialist Hand Rehabilitation (University of Milan, 2022).

  • Direct access, no medical referral needed

There is no magic machine: there is a path, built around the person, the scientific evidence and the dialogue with the physician.

Elena was my guardian angel during a difficult time 💖 A month after I suffered a nasty cut on my finger, I didn't know how to manage the recovery, and the procedure my GP was trying to implement wasn't right for my type of injury... so my husband, a musculoskeletal physiotherapist, recommended I entrust myself to Elena, a true upper limb expert! In a sea of ​​confusion about what to do, Elena patiently clarified every doubt, accompanied me through my recovery, and then supported me in my exercise and recovery, never failing to smile and, above all, making me feel like I was in good hands! It was very important, after so much pain and the fear of experiencing the same, to find not only an excellent professional but also someone who understood and supported me without ever making me feel "wrong."

I underwent surgery once for a tendon injury and a second time to remove an adhesion to the scar from the first operation. Elena was highly recommended by the surgeon who operated on me, and I must say I couldn't have made a better choice. She's approachable, capable of immediately putting you at ease, cheerful, helpful, and truly professional. She can make a particularly difficult time, both physically and mentally, easier; she's truly a professional. I saw results after the first session, and each time it gets better and better. Thank you, Elena, for your professionalism and your humanity!

I went to Dr. Elena Benedettini the day after surgery on my left hand for a fourth trigger finger and a cyst on my third. I was very worried; my hand was very swollen. Elena, with her calm and professionalism, managed to reassure me and make me understand the path I needed to take to regain the functionality of my hand. A relationship of trust was immediately established, which allowed me to gradually achieve good results. Thank you, Elena, for always being a source of encouragement and support during the months we spent together! I was lucky to meet such a talented physiotherapist! Paola Taddei

I was pleased to meet Dr. Elena on the recommendation of Dr. Mustapha. In July, I underwent surgery on my first metacarpal and trapezius, and at the end of August, after the Kirschner wires were removed, I began physical therapy with Elena. She is a wonderful, competent, and very helpful person. From the first meeting, she made me feel at ease. Her ability to explain things clearly and simply helped me immediately understand my recovery journey, and with her, I quickly achieved my goals. I am very grateful for her professionalism and care, and I have no hesitation in recommending Elena to anyone looking for a highly competent and helpful physical therapist. Guenda Perlingieri

Quando mi sono infortunato, amputazione della terza e seconda falange del dito medio destro, mi è cascato il mondo addosso, in tutti i sensi . Ho saputo per caso della dottoressa Elena e all' inizio non pensavo di poter fare più di tanto, invece ho trovato una professionista eccezionale, come eccezionale è la persona che ho conosciuto e mi aiutato in tutti gli step della ripresa. Giovane ma con una esperienza, una voglia di migliorarsi ogni giorno e aiutare a 360 gradi il paziente anche con una battuta e un sorriso. Le auguro il meglio sia nel campo lavorativo, dove è già un punto di riferimento per tanti colleghi, che nella vita. Posso solo parlarne bene e la consiglio a tutti quelli che ne hanno bisogno. Grazie di cuore Elena ♥️
