Welcome to Evergreen Hand Therapy

At our clinic we focus on helping clients with all types of hand injuries and conditions to regain their motion, dexterity and strength as well as minimise pain, swelling and discomfort.

Our Gold Coast based clinic uses objective clinical testing (including tools to measure range of motion, strength and touch sensation), review of any imaging and information you tell us about your symptoms to thoroughly assess and accurately identify the cause of the problems.

We specialise in customized splints and waterproof casts; sporting and workplace injuries; diagnosing and treating pain, stiffness, weakness or numbness in the hand, wrist and arm; as well as early/timely treatment to prevent secondary problems.
