What is hand physiotherapy?

Sydney hand therapy specialists

Hand physiotherapy, otherwise known as hand therapy, is a non-surgical rehabilitation process performed by physiotherapists or occupational therapists to manage hand disorders and injuries.

Hand physiotherapy involves the use of different physical methods, including exercise, wound care, and splinting. This rehabilitation technique is applied to the hands and other upper extremity parts, including the arm, shoulders, wrist, forearm, and elbow.

Hand Therapy
Treatment and Services

Just as there are GPs and specialist doctors, there are general physiotherapists and specialised certified hand therapists. We are here to help you overcome any hand, wrist or arm injury or condition, and any scarring on the body.

This could be from an accident, sporting incident, surgery, or just a recurring pain that is starting to impact on your way of life.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

The compression of the median nerve that runs through the wrist.

De Quervain’s tenosynovitis

A common wrist injury due to the inflammation of the two tendons that cross your wrist and thumb.

Hand Fracture

AKA “metacarpal fracture”, occurs when excess force is applied to the bone, causing it to break.

Finger Injury

Any injury or overuse of your fingers due to sports, school or workplace incidents.

Trigger Finger

The clicking or locking of the finger or thumb.

Thumb Arthritis

Thumb arthritis can cause severe pain, swelling, and decreased strength and range of motion.

Wrist Fractures

Thumb arthritis can cause severe pain, swelling, and decreased strength and range of motion.

Wrist Pain

Wrist pain is can be hard to pinpoint, however there are treatments available.

Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow pain is commonly caused by repetitive gripping and lifting.

Mallet Finger

A mallet injury is an injury to the tendon on the back of your finger.

Elbow Fractures

Elbow fractures commonly occur from a fall, twisting of the arm or trauma.

Swelling

Swelling is a common and often challenging issue following hand injuries.

Buckle Fracture

Buckle fractures are a common type of bone injury, particularly in children.

Central Slip

A central slip injury refers to damage to the central slip tendon of the finger.

Dupuytren’s Disease

  My experience with Dr Chen Li with physio treatment on my hand has been first class with improvement each visit. We’re heading towards a great outcome from a severely broken finger.
I’m also never kept waiting for any appointment which to me shows professionalism in her work as usually you’re always waiting when it comes to medical appointments.
Thanks to Dr Chen Li and the team.

  I was searching for a hand specialist to help with my skiers thumb injury.
My last therapist was very average so I wasn't fully confident of getting the healing my hand needed.
Yet after only two sessions with Chen Li, my hand is fully functional and the prognosis is entirely positive !
Chen is a thorough professional with a deep knowledge to draw on. Her assessment was detailed and totally targeted on the central issues.
I couldn't recommend a more able practitioner for healing hands.
Thank you Chen.

  I saw Susan after experiencing pain on my wrist post partum. She is very experienced and has attention to detail. It's quite hard to find good physiotherapists that specialise in the hand and wrist. I felt very reassured with Susan's guidance and have been steadily improving without the need of injections or surgery.  Highly recommend.

  Chen is the best Physio and such a legend, she fixed my elbow in just a few weeks and helped me get back on the tools. I highly recommend!
