Hand therapy

Relieve pain and improve function in fingers, hands, and wrists.

Certified Hand Therapists (CHTs) are specialised occupational therapists with detailed knowledge and training in the anatomy and function of the hand and wrist. CHTs are equipped to treat a wide variety of conditions including degenerative, traumatic, and non-traumatic injuries.

Have you suffered an injury to this area of your body? Do you experience chronic pain or problems with grip or fine motor skills? Hand therapy can offer a diagnosis and treatment to help you return to the highest possible level of function.

Our CHTs implement targeted interventions including custom splinting and bracing, scar massage, and desensitization, alongside joint mobilization and swelling management. To ensure a comprehensive recovery, treatment plans also incorporate specialised range of motion and strengthening exercises specifically designed to facilitate a successful return to work and daily function.
