Our upper limb sports injuries services in Brisbane
HandsOn Therapy has a team of hand therapists who are highly trained in the assessment and management of sports-related hand, wrist, forearm and elbow conditions.
Hand and upper limb therapy is the process of rehabilitating the hand, wrist, forearm, and/or elbow after an injury. The goal is to restore normal function, minimise pain and swelling, reduce the risk of re-injury and return the athlete to pre-injury performance levels as soon as possible. Our team works closely with sports physiotherapists to design individualised programs that will help patients achieve their rehabilitation and recovery goals.
