Northern Clinic - Mawson Lakes Hand Therapy
The Northern clinic is located at the Mawson Lakes Specialist Centre, which is on the first floor of the Delfin Building in the Promenade Shopping Centre.
We work as part of a multidisciplinary team with general Physiotherapy services including gym, Pilates and hydrotherapy and podiatry services. This convenient location allows our patients to obtain a high standard of care in the one location.
Our team of fully qualified professionals specialise the following areas:
Chronic Pain & Injuries
This convenient location allows us to service the many production work environments in the vicinity. Therapists working out of this clinic pride themselves in assisting General Practitioners and Occupational Physicians with the often complex nature of upper limb injury and case management in the manual handling/process industry. This extends to chronic pain education and self management principles, along with neural mobilisation and functional occupational therapy interventions.
Acute Pain & Injuries
The clinic also offers specialised hand and upper limb treatment and assessment including custom splinting solutions, acute trauma intervention, post operative rehabilitation and soft tissue management for specific upper limb complaints. These include De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, lateral epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar/radial nerve neuropathies, shoulder bursitis/tendonitis, postural education and thoracic outlet syndrome, finger injuries and extensor apparatus correction, and complex wrist instability/pain problems. We complete Joint Protection Principles for those with Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis and custom make resting and functional splints. We also fabricate protective splints for fingers/wrists for sporting activities.
Private Referrals
Private patients can refer themselves for evaluation and treatment. Patients with work related injuries or injuries sustained through motor vehicle accident will need a Doctor’s referral. We provide comprehensive home exercise programs to assist with recovery and can assist with diagnosis as well as treatment of injuries.
Work & Home Assesments
We undertake Job Analysis, Ergonomic Workplace Assessment and Activities of Daily Living (home assessment). We have a range of aids to assist daily living and a list of suppliers for additional aids which may be required to assist with functional independence.
