Hand Therapy Singapore
Hand therapy in Singapore is a specialist rehabilitation discipline practised by AHPC-registered occupational therapists with advanced training in upper limb conditions. At the Centre for Advanced Rehabilitation (CARe), our hand therapists carry over ten years of experience in hand therapy and upper limb rehabilitation, working with patients across orthopaedic injuries, tendon injuries, nerve injuries, and chronic conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger. CARe's hand therapy service covers orthosis and splint fabrication, physical agent modalities, scar management, oedema management, stiff hand management, and pain and numbness management. Our team collaborates directly with hand surgeons and operates across CARe's Camden Medical Centre and Parkway Centre locations in Singapore.
