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:

Save your thermoplastic splint and your wallet, by remembering not to leave your supportive friend in the car on a hot day.

👋 Meet Kristin Wilkinson, the latest to join us at

Kristin is an Occupational Therapist (and former Nurse) with over 15 years of experience helping people regain independence and function.

She fell in love with hand therapy for its perfect mix of science and creativity, and the difference it makes in people’s everyday lives.

When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find Kristin enjoying the beach with her family or cheering loudly for her Richmond Tigers, but we won't hold that against her...

Welcome onboard! Please make Kristen feel welcome in the comments 🫶

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!

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.
