Welcome
30+ years experience in Occupational Therapy
We are a group of Occupational Therapists with Cathy Thomas as Director who all have expertise in the treatment and rehabilitation of the hand and upper limb.
Cathy Thomas has over 30 years’ experience as an Occupational Therapist in the field of Hand & Upper Limb Therapy. Cathy is an Accredited Hand Therapist (as awarded by Australian Hand Therapy Association) and has completed her Post Graduate Diploma in Hand and Upper Limb Rehabilitation. She and her team have presented at numerous hand therapy conferences and GP Educational Seminars as well as publishing in the American Hand Therapy Journal, and receiving numerous awards for recognition of practice in the field of hand therapy. In 2016, Cathy was honoured with a “Pioneer’s Award” by the Health Minister the Hon. John Day MLA at the WA Occupational Therapy Association awards ceremony.
Our referrals come from Surgeons, GPs, Physiotherapists and others, however, you do not specifically require a referral to be seen by us. Specialised Hand Therapy Services look forward to assisting you with your hand or upper limb related problem.
