About Northern Beaches Hand Therapy
Northern Beaches Hand Therapy is a specialist hand and upper-limb therapy clinic based within Northern Beaches Hospital at Frenchs Forest. As a dedicated, multidisciplinary practice it brings together physiotherapists and occupational therapists who focus specifically on the hand, wrist, elbow and arm, working from a purpose-built facility co-located with orthopaedic specialists.
The team is built around accredited and certified hand therapists, several with international certification and decades of clinical experience, allowing the clinic to manage a wide range of hand and upper-limb injuries with an evidence-based approach. This concentration of expertise makes it a natural choice for patients referred after surgery or those with complex hand and wrist conditions.
Care is tailored to each patient's injury and stage of recovery, with attention to detailed assessment and clear explanation of what to expect. Patients value the depth of knowledge and the reassurance that comes with seeing clinicians who specialise solely in hand and upper-limb rehabilitation. For people across the Northern Beaches dealing with post-operative recovery or ongoing hand and arm problems, the clinic offers focused, specialist therapy in a hospital setting.
