WHAT IS HAND THERAPY?

Hand Therapy is also known as rehabilitation of the upper limb. Our goal is to promote recovery, maximise gains and meet specific goals following injury such as returning to function, sport and work related tasks using your hand.

Non surgical treatment may include splinting,   exercises, strengthening and other therapy techniques. We also treat patients following their surgery and liaise closely with referring surgeons as to the treatment required.
