Improve grip on life with successful hand therapy

THE hand, wrist and arm have incredibly complex anatomy and their movements and functions are also intricate – which is why, when something goes wrong, you need to speak to the experts.

Bankstown Physiotherapy Hand Therapy specialists accurately diagnose and provide immediate treatment depending on the condition.
If you are recovering from a thumb injury, broken finger, wrist or elbow injury or even have trouble gripping, pinching or grasping, the lack of mobility and pain will interfere with your everyday activities so it’s best to make an appointment as soon as a problem arises with early treatment more likely to produce successful results quickly.
For eligible patients, Hand Therapy can be treated for free under the Medicare program.    
The most common hand injuries seen at Bankstown Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre on 68 Eldridge Road are: Fractures and injuries due to trauma; Carpal Tunnel caused by pressure on the median nerve running from the forearm through a passageway in the wrist (carpal tunnel) to the hand causing pain, numbness and tingling; De Quervain’s and trigger fingers due to overuse and often associated with pregnancy and breastfeeding (people with rheumatoid arthritis may be more susceptible to De Quervain’s tenosynovitis); and Osteoarthritis of the fingers and hand.  
Bankstown Physiotherapists work on the assessment and rehabilitation of conditions that affect the whole body.
