Hand and Wrist Therapy
Penrith Physiotherapy Sports Centre offers specialised hand, wrist and finger therapy delivered by a therapist with two decades of experience. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, healing a fracture, or rebuilding strength and movement after an injury, you’ll get focused, evidence-based care in a calm, comfortable setting.
Hands are intricate, and small problems can have a big impact on daily life and work. Hand therapy is a dedicated area of physiotherapy focused on the hand, wrist and forearm — restoring movement, strength and function after injury or surgery.

What to Expect
Your first appointment is a longer session so there’s time to hear your history, examine properly and start treatment. From there you’ll have a clear plan, something to work on at home, and regular re-checks so we can track progress and adjust as you improve. We explain everything in plain language and focus on getting you back to using your hands with confidence.
Treatment Philosophy
This service is built around making patients feel relaxed, well cared for and informed. Hand and wrist recovery is detailed work — so the approach is gentle, thorough and unhurried, with education and self-management at the centre of every program.
