Our hand therapists are all involved in continuing education programmes to ensure that we are always up to date with the latest research and techniques. All our clinicians are New Zealand registered occupational therapists or physiotherapists.

Hand Rehab therapists are ‘associate’ or ‘registered’ hand therapists with Hand Therapy New Zealand. A ‘registered’ hand therapist has completed the post graduate study programme and has provided a minimum of 1800 hours of hand therapy treatment. An ‘associate’ hand therapist is still completing their full qualifications; they are fully trained as either a Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist.

Hand Rehab | Hand Physiotherapists | Providing Physiotherapy for Hands.   Rehabilitation and physio treatment from the elbow to the fingertips.
Covering the greater Wellington region including Wellington CBD, Porirua, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Newtown, Crofton Downs, Paraparaumu and Palmerston North
