How we can help
At Taranaki Hand Therapy, we are a team of experienced and passionate therapists who practice exclusively with elbow, wrist and hand conditions. Our therapists are all fully Registered New Zealand Hand Therapists and keep up to date with best practice.
We will take time to listen and tailor your therapy to suit your individual needs, as many conditions can be treated effectively in different ways. We can provide customised or off-the-shelf splinting to suit your lifestyle and/or work needs.
No referral is needed to see us. For our ACC covered clients, we can lodge your claim without referral and for our private covered clients, we have excellent links with the major insurance companies for ease of cover and payment.
Our therapists have the ability to refer for imaging and can easily access scans or x-rays you have had taken in Taranaki. We also have excellent links with Orthopaedic and Plastics specialists both in Taranaki and outside the region.
