Hand therapy

We are a team of occupational therapists and physiotherapists with a passion for treating hand and wrist injuries. We offer out-patient care for adults and children with conditions from the hand to the elbow. Hand therapy is a valuable step in your rehabilitation journey to help speed up recovery and get you back to doing the activities that are important to you.

We work closely with plastics, orthopaedic hand surgeons and rheumatology doctors.

Our services and treatments include:

• Outpatient therapy services
• Informative osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis groups
• Wrist rehabilitation groups
• Virtual clinic follow ups.
• Management of acute and chronic wrist and hand trauma including, but not limited to:
  • Fractures
  • Nerve and tendon injuries
  • Joint sprains and strains
  • Arthritis
  • Dupuytren’s disease (post-surgical)
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
  • Trigger finger

After an initial assessment, we will agree on a treatment plan and appropriate goal setting with you. Treatment will then include education about your condition or injury and your expected recovery times. Treatment modalities can include exercises, splint fabrication, oedema management, pain management, sensory re-education, basic wound care, scar management and recommendations of assistive devices.

We have a team of Hand Therapists at all three sites.
