Hand Therapy

Hand Therapy is the art and science of rehabilitation of the upper extremity – shoulder to hand

With thorough evaluation and diagnostic testing, CHG’s specialised management programs are developed and tailored to each individual. Hand Therapy is effective at assisting people with upper limb injuries to return to work and improve function in their day to day life.

Hand Therapy may benefit people with:

• Work related injuries
• High trauma injuries
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Sporting injuries
• Degenerative changes
• Nerve injuries
• Post-operative rehabilitation

Hand Therapy can help through:

• Custom splint fabrication
• Exercise prescription
• Sensory re-education
• Pain management
• Upper limb functional assessments
• Return to work programs

Our Hand Therapy service operates across CHG’s clinics in Mile End, Gillman and Elizabeth Vale. CHG’s multidisciplinary system facilitates the effective communication between all stakeholders and the Hand Therapy practitioner to form a unified approach in the rehabilitation of an upper limb injury.
