What is Hand Therapy?Hand Therapy is the art and science of rehabilitation of the upper limb - shoulder to hand. It involves evaluation and testing to assess the injured limb from which a specific treatment program can be designed. A variety of specialised treatment techniques are used to achieve these goals. What is a Hand Therapist?Hand Therapists are registered Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists who, through further education, clinical experience and independent study have become proficient in the treatment of upper limb conditions resulting from injury, disease or deformity. What is the AHTA?The Australian Hand Therapy Association (AHTA) is Australia's only professional association representing hand therapists. It provides support for its members through continuing education, professional development, networking and representation at state and national levels. It also acts as a central referral point for doctors and members of the public seeking the services of Hand Therapists in specific geographic locations. Through its membership of the International Federation of Societies for Hand Therapy (IFSHT), the AHTA is also able to assist in locating hand therapists in other countries. Our MissionTo maintain and promote high standards of Hand Therapy practice in Australia.
