What is Hand Physiotherapy?

Hand physiotherapy is the rehabilitation of the upper limb: hand to shoulder. It involves assessing and managing hand and upper limb conditions that might require braces, splints, a customised exercise program and other treatments to correct problems and improve functionality.

Our Sydney hand physiotherapists are skilled practitioners who have  experience in managing and treating hand and upper limb injuries. You can rely on our practitioners to correctly assess your condition and provide you with the right customised treatment options to meet your desired outcomes.
