A member asked:
I want to know if physio therapy can heal the lack of movement on my pip joint on the pinky finger, i suspect flexor tendon damage, i saw a doctor today who referred me to an orthopedic clinic?

The pinky finger supplies a great deal of hand strength and any such damage should be evaluated and properly treated by a hand surgeon in order to avoid life long problems with hand strength. I recommend changing your appointment to one with a hand specialist.
