Hand Therapy

Hand therapists are highly trained clinicians who work exclusively in the treatment of the hand and upper limb.

In Australia, every hand therapist begins their career as either a qualified Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist. They then undertake years of additional education, mentoring and clinical experience focused solely on hand and upper limb conditions.

Many of our therapists have achieved Accredited Hand Therapist (as awarded by the Australian Hand Therapy Association) status—Australia's highest recognised credential in hand therapy. This accreditation requires extensive postgraduate training, clinical practice, ongoing professional development and rigorous assessment.

Working Alongside Your Surgeon and GP

Our therapists work closely with Queensland's leading hand, wrist and upper limb surgeons, as well as GPs and specialists.

 

For patients requiring surgery, this close collaboration ensures seamless communication before and after your operation. For those who don't require surgery, we provide evidence-based conservative treatment designed to help you avoid surgery wherever appropriate.

 

From your first appointment, our focus is helping you recover as quickly, safely and completely as possible.

These guys are great. Very knowledgeable, considerate and practical (I can personally recommend Zac at the Carina practice). My only complaint is that they don’t - as at date I post this - have HICAPS available. You need to chase up any rebates with your health insurer yourself following your appointment..
