What is Hand Therapy?
Did you know that the average adult hand and wrist contain 27 bones and 34 muscles? It is an amazing piece of machinery. When not operating at full capacity, your hand requires experienced, professional care. Central Victorian Hand Therapy was established in 2006 due to a need for this high level of specialized care in regional Victoria.
At Central Victorian Hand Therapy, we offer a variety of Hand Therapy services including:
- Custom made, same day orthotic fabrication.
- Education and Treatment.
- Post-surgery rehabilitation programs & management.
