Hand Physiotherapy in Port Macquarie and Wauchope

Hand and wrist pain doesn't always build slowly.

Sometimes it's stiffness or reduced grip strength that creeps in over weeks. Other times it's sudden, after a fracture, sprain or surgery. Struggling to type, garden or push through your hands? A sore or recovering hand doesn't just hurt. It gets in the way of almost everything you do.

At Hastings Physio and Health, we help Port Macquarie and Wauchope locals get back to using their hands properly, because a hand that works properly means a life that runs well.

What is Hand Physiotherapy?

Hand physiotherapy is the assessment and treatment of pain, injury or reduced function in the hand and wrist. The hand and wrist pack more joints, tendons and nerves into a small space than almost anywhere else in your body, so treatment needs to be precise.

A generic exercise plan often falls short, because your physiotherapist needs to understand exactly which structure is causing your pain before they can fix it.

At your first visit, we build a Recommended Action Plan (RAP) tailored to your hand or wrist. It gives you a clear picture of what's going on and what happens next, because guessing your way through recovery isn't good enough.

No referral needed. No waitlist. We aim to see you within 48 hours.
