What does a day in the life of a hand therapist at Perth Hand Clinic look like? 👋🏼
Every day is different! From fractures and post-operative rehabilitation to custom splinting, wound care and home visits, our days are filled with helping people regain movement, strength and function in their hands and upper limbs.
Here’s just a snapshot of what one day might look like:
🔹 Returning to weight-bearing following a distal radius fracture
🔹 Fabricating a splint for a child following a coronoid process fracture of the elbow
🔹 Fitting a wrist splint following wrist surgery
🔹 A home visit to fit a pre-fabricated functional orthosis
🔹 A splint for a metacarpal fracture
🔹 Wound care and scar management following Dupuytren’s surgery
No two patients are the same and no day is the same and that’s what we love about hand therapy!
