Our approach
The clinic's hand therapy approach focuses on restoring hand, wrist, and elbow function as quickly and safely as possible through specialised treatment. Physiotherapists and occupational therapists with advanced training in hand therapy work with clients individually, and most receive custom-made splints during their appointment. Sessions are supported by thorough mentoring and skills-sharing to ensure consistent quality of care, and therapists provide home exercise programs tailored to each client's needs. The clinic is known for being approachable, thorough, and genuinely invested in recovery, combining hands-on treatment with practical advice and education.
Meet the team
The team consists of qualified physiotherapists and occupational therapists who specialise in hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder conditions. All have received advanced training in hand therapy and undergo regular professional development. Several therapists are pursuing advanced postgraduate degrees, including PhDs in biomedicine and tendinopathy. The clinic was established in 1991 by Karen Fitt, an Accredited Hand Therapist and past president of the Australian Hand Therapy Association, who continues to mentor the leadership team. The organisation maintains a thorough mentoring and skills-sharing program to ensure consistent, high-quality treatment across all therapists.
Your first visit
At the first appointment, clients should arrive 10 minutes early to complete a New Patient form. The therapist will conduct an initial assessment, examining the hand, wrist, or elbow condition and discussing the client's goals and activities. If you are a musician or athlete, it's helpful to bring the relevant instrument or sports equipment, or a video of the activity if possible. Bring any imaging results you have had done. Most clients who need a splint receive a custom-made one during their first visit, and you will receive a tailored treatment plan and home exercise program to support your recovery.
