HAND AND ARM THERAPY

Our Occupational Therapists specialise in evaluating and treating any problem related to fingers, hands or arms.

We treat a range of injuries; from post surgical to long-term, chronic conditions.

We also offer in-house thermoplastic splinting when required.

LYMPHOEDEMA (SWELLING) MANAGEMENT

Our Occupational Therapists have post graduate training in the management of Lymphoedema / chronic swelling.

The longer swelling hangs around, the more it has trouble moving on and the greater the density of the tissues which can limit movement and function.

We can help people to reduce the risk of developing lymphoedema, help you understand how to self-manage your swelling, wounds and scars.

NEUROPATHIC PAIN MANAGEMENT

Our Occupational Therapists strive to learn and evolve to provide new methods of complex pain management, as we know it varies for each client.

Our goal is to accelerate the patient's return to a productive lifestyle, minimising the impact of complex pain on work, home and leisure activities. We use a variety of pain management treatments to best suit individual needs.
