WHAT IS HAND THERAPY?
Don’t be mistaken; Hand Therapy is not just about treating your hands. It focuses on the whole arm (or upper extremity) from your fingers to your shoulders.
Hand Therapy is a specific field that assesses, diagnoses, treats, and rehabilitates your hand (including your fingers and thumbs), wrist, elbow, or shoulder after injury, surgery, or the diagnosis of a medical condition, helping you to regain maximum movement and use.
A Hand Therapist or Hand Therapy Practitioner has either a Physiotherapy or Occupational Therapy degree, can be registered with the Australian Hand Therapy Association, undertakes additional on-the-job training and focuses exclusively on the arms ( upper extremity). They collaborate with other professionals, including hand surgeons, GPs, and rehabilitation consultants, to ensure you get the best treatment possible.
At Action Rehab Hand Therapy Clinic, our Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists have completed additional post-graduate courses and on-the-job practical training that makes us skilled in the expert care of the whole arm, from your fingertips to your shoulders.

WHAT CONDITIONS DO HAND THERAPISTS TREAT?
As a hand therapist, we want you to regain maximum movement and use of your arm, including your fingers, thumbs, wrists, elbows, and shoulders, whether from an injury, surgery or after the diagnosis of a medical condition.

Fractures
Our Hand Therapists can treat a variety of hand, wrist, and arm fractures. If required, we can send you for scans and X-rays to confirm if you have a new fracture or see if your fracture has healed. The most common fractures we treat include:
Tendon Rupture
When a tendon ruptures in your thumb, finger, wrist, elbow or shoulder, you will not be able to fully straighten or bend it. Our therapists are experienced in diagnosing if you’ve ruptured a tendon and, if needed, can send you for X-rays and Ultrasounds. Common tendon ruptures include:
Dislocations
Our Action Rehab hand therapists are experienced in treating dislocations anywhere in your upper limbs. Common dislocations include:
Arthritis
There are two main types of arthritis, namely rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. We offer treatment for both conditions. Common, treatable arthritic conditions include:
Ligament Injury
Our team has extensive experience in diagnosing common ligament injuries in the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. Treatment is often as simple as using a small functional brace or exercising. Common ligament injuries include:
- Skiers Thumb
- Scapholunate ligament Injury
- Volar Plate
- Collateral Ligament Injury
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI)
Hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder pain is often caused by repetitive sports injuries or work-related injuries. These injuries are often chronic and may be poorly treated by an inexperienced health professional. The sooner you seek care from a hand therapist, the sooner you can improve. We often see people seeking alternative treatment because their condition hasn’t improved. Common repetitive injuries include:

WHY SHOULD YOU SEE A HAND THERAPIST INSTEAD OF A GENERAL PHYSIOTHERAPIST?
“If you understand Podiatrists are experts for your feet, you’ll soon realise hand therapists are skilled at treating any upper limb conditions of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand.”
The arm (upper extremity) is a complex body part. Successful treatment and rehabilitation often require expert knowledge of how it functions specifically. When you work with a Hand Therapist, you’re receiving treatment from an Allied Health practitioner who specifically focuses on this core area of the body and has obtained extensive rehabilitation experience.
Your Hand Therapist can quickly identify the most appropriate treatment for your condition, avoiding any complications that may be experienced by not seeking a hand therapy professional.
Our team of qualified Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists have completed additional training specifically in treating your arms (upper limb) and often work with and have patients referred to them from General Practitioners (GP), Surgeons, Chiropractors, other General Physiotherapists, and Osteopaths. You can request a referral from your GP or therapist to one of our three local clinics based in the Brisbane.
We will work closely with your GP, Physiotherapist, or Surgeon to provide you with the most appropriate treatment, stabilisation, and strengthening program to manage your injury or condition and ensure you receive the best recovery possible.
