Expert Hand Injury Management
Hand Therapy is an advanced area of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy that requires a level of specialty and additional training.
People use their hands for work and play every single day, relying on them for activities involving fine motor skills, communicating in sign language, and gesturing while we speak. In fact, many of our clients rely on their hands for their source of income, whether they be public servants, tradespeople, athletes, or musicians.
An injury or hand condition can significantly affect your quality of life and our working life. But also, for many of our clients, a hand injury prevents or inhibits their participation in sport or physical activity.
Our team brings over 100 years of combined experience in Hand Therapy. With availability 5 days a week and locations in Barton, Bruce, and Mawson, they form the largest and most accessible Hand Therapy Team across Canberra.

Custom and prefabricated splints
Our specialised Hand Clinic team can make custom-made splints to suit our patients or we can help you choose from a variety of prefabricated splints.
InterX for pain relief
When pain is present the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, which can go into overdrive as a result of pain (fight or flight response). Find out about InterX, a non-invasive medical device that uses electrical stimulation for relief of acute, chronic and neuropathic pain.
