Don’t be misled; Hand Therapy encompasses more than just your hands. It addresses the entire arm (or upper extremity), stretching from your shoulders down to your fingertips.

Hand Therapy is a specialised field that evaluates, diagnoses, treats, and rehabilitates your shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand (including fingers and thumbs) following an injury, surgery, or medical diagnosis, aiding you in regaining optimal movement.

A Hand Therapist or Hand Therapy Practitioner holds a degree in Physiotherapy or Occupational Therapy, is registered with the Australian Hand Therapy Association, and has undergone additional on-the-job training focusing solely on the upper extremity. They work in collaboration with other professionals, including hand surgeons, general practitioners, and rehabilitation consultants, to provide you with the highest quality care.

At The Hands Physio, our Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists have completed postgraduate courses and practical training to ensure they are experts in providing comprehensive care for the entire arm, from shoulder to fingertip.
