Hand Therapy
What We Treat
What is Hand Therapy?
Hand Therapy is the specialised rehabilitation of conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and forearm. Our therapists restore upper limb function so you can safely return to work, sport, and daily life.
We fabricate bespoke thermoplastic splints and braces directly in the clinic. This ensures proper alignment, immobility for healing, or support during functional activity.
Our practitioners utilise manual therapy, scar management, and swelling reduction techniques. We carefully restore joint mobility and tendon gliding without compromising tissue healing.
We design progressive exercise programs to rebuild grip strength, fine motor control, and dexterity. This bridges the gap between early recovery and full physical performance.
At Zone 34 Lewisham, our hand therapy service combines advanced clinical expertise with personalised, criteria-based rehabilitation to ensure optimal recovery for your upper limb.
Our clinicians possess dedicated training in upper limb anatomy and complex biomechanics. We deliver precise care tailored specifically to intricate hand and wrist conditions.
We communicate seamlessly with hand surgeons, GPs, and sports physicians across Sydney. This ensures your post-operative protocol or non-surgical recovery is entirely cohesive and safe.
We track progress using precise goniometry and dynamometry force testing. You will always know where you stand, advancing safely based on measurable functional milestones.
