Gold Coast Hand Therapy

Gold Coast Hand Therapy We are a team of Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists who specialise in hand injuries

We are a team of Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists who specialise in treating finger, thumb, hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder injuries and conditions. As Hand Therapy Specialists on the Gold Coast, we are highly experienced at assessing injuries, fabrication of custom-made thermoplastic splints or orthoses (an alternative to fibreglass casting), providing conservative treatments for injuries and conditions, as well as post-surgery and wound care. We work closely with many Hand and Orthopaedic Surgeons, hospitals including Gold Coast Private Hospital and Pindara, as well as a wide network of GPs. We treat patients that are privately funded or those under WorkCover, DVA, NDIS or other independent insurers. All our therapists are members of the the Australian Hand Therapy Association (AHTA). An Accredited Hand Therapist has been recognised by the Australian Hand Therapy Association (AHTA) after years of clinical experience and further study after university. We have five clinics across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW:

Cycling is generally low-impact, but sometimes overuse or the unfortunate, traumatic injury may occur.

Hand Therapy update from one of our Occupational Therapist’s, Ashleigh Magee.

This patient came to see us at with a fixed flexion deformity.

To defrost the FFD, we serial casted with orficast.

1 week later, the patient returned with 0 degrees. 🙌

🏉 Footy fever has hit and are getting in the spirit!

Our team's passion for healing hands was matched today by their love for the game. Today, we're showing our true colours and team spirit.

Happy

Did you know, at we have a dedicated team of Hand Therapists, made of both OT and PTs?

Today, we wanted to take a moment to shine a light on our Physiotherapists, who spend their days (and sometimes nights) treating the finger, thumb, hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder injuries and conditions from a diverse group of patients, each with their own strengths, goals and limitations.

This year, Wold Physiotherapy centres around 'Healthy Ageing', busting common myths about strength training as we get older.

At GC Hand Therapy, we believe you're never to young, or old to get started on your journey, whatever that may be. Our therapists can assist you to:
> Regain independence
> Increase AROM
> Recover from a fall, or prevent falls in the future
> Gain strength

Notice what these points all have in common? They are not bound by age.

Healthy ageing means staying active, connected, and doing what matters—at every stage of life. From childhood to midlife, a healthy lifestyle sets the foundation for wellbeing in later years.

How cute is this custom thumb splint?

Out for a bushwalk in Margaret River, this patient suffered a fall, hyperextending and dislocating her thumb IP joint when landing on rocks in a gully. OUCH!

Constructed with care over 2 appointments, our Hand Therapist was able to work with the patient to develop this unique, dynamic design to aid with recovery.

🤔 POP vs Thermoplastic Splints, choosing the right splint can make all the difference.

Plaster of Paris (POP) casts are a tried-and-true option, great for those who need a secure, affordable choice, but they certainly have their flaws.

✨ Looking for something more flexible?
Thermoplastic splints are lightweight and water-resistant, making them ideal for active lifestyles, allowing for swimming and better hygiene + they can be remoulded for the perfect fit!

Whether you need a splint for yourself or your little one, consider your lifestyle and comfort needs. 🏃‍♂️💪

Who says splints have to be boring? Not this patient!

Taking style into their own hands, this lovely patient isn’t letting a supportive splint limit their creativity.

Taking ‘custom’ to the next level, we're loving the animal print design 🐯
