Hand, Wrist & Upper Limb Rehab Fracture Clinic
Hand Therapy for Fractures
My Specialist Rehab Fracture Clinic is for those who have recently suffered a broken bone in the hand, wrist, elbow or shoulder. Are you still experiencing swelling, pain, stiffness, weakness or ongoing disability? No matter what point you are in your journey, I provide individualised fracture aftercare to address any roadblocks you might encounter on your road to recovery.
I am a leading upper limb and hand specialist located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. As an experienced Occupational Therapist (OT) and Certified Hand Therapist (CHT), you can be confident that I have the expertise to provide you with individualised assessment and treatment for your fracture.

Ordering & Interpreting X-rays
Not all healthcare professionals can order or interpret X-Rays. As an Advanced Practitioner, I have received specialist training as a referrer under the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations (IR(ME)R).
I also possess specialist training and experience in interpreting radiographic imaging of the upper limb and hand in my role as an Extended Scope Practitioner. Whether you are looking for an X-ray to be ordered for you or require advice on imaging that has already been taken, I can help.
More information can be found on my X-ray page.
