Hand Physio

Hand & Upper Limb Expert

Are you searching for a Qualified Hand or Upper Limb Physio in Belfast or Northern Ireland as a whole? Hand Therapy, which covers rehabilitation from the fingers through to the shoulder girdle can be performed by Physiotherapists or Occupational Therapists.

I am an experienced Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) and an Occupational Therapist (OT) by profession. As a qualified CHT, in an Extended Scope Role, I hold the certification, qualifications and experience to apply the skills of both OT and Physio professional disciplines. I am qualified to not only order, but systematically interpret X-rays. This clinical competency has been fine-tuned over the years that I have practised as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner.


Hand & Upper Limb Expert

As an Extended Scope Practitioner, I work at the highest clinical level in the NHS. I succeeded in reaching the Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) specialty credential, that is difficult to attain. Helping those who have been unable to receive a diagnosis or the correct treatment to alleviate their conditions is a passion of mine.

Diagnostics

The Hand Therapist Private Clinic has the essential equipment you would come to expect from a top tier setting. This includes diagnostic and testing equipment, splinting materials for custom orthoses, speciality supports, therapeutic items and exercise aids.

Extended Appointments

Longer appointments as standard to ensure my valued patients receive the utmost attention, care and treatment that does not feel rushed. Aftercare support is an important part of your therapy journey. Ongoing support is offered to help my patients maintain their recovery over the long-term.

Conditions a Hand Therapist Can Treat

From repetitive strain (RSI) to sports injuries and beyond, I offer a wide range of treatments to help relieve pain and improve shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand function. Common conditions that I am knowledgeable in treating include, but are not limited to:

  • Rotator Cuff Syndrome
  • Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow
  • Carpal & Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
  • Arthritis
  • Dislocations
  • Joint Sprains & Muscle Strains
