This service is offered to in-patients and out-patients.
In-Patient Therapy
This treatment includes Trauma ICU/ Neuro ICU/Burns ICU therapy, splinting in hospital and implementation of acute stage therapy programmes.
Out-Patient Therapy
Work-Site Evaluations
As it is imperative that patients are able to achieve the best possible hand function and return to pre-injury jobs, we are in continuous discussion with employers and assist in the return to work phase. Work site and job task evaluations are performed where necessary and recommendations regarding modifications are made to the employer and implemented jointly by the therapist and employer. We offer work hardening/ return to work rehabilitation activities to ensure that patients are fit to return to their job tasks. Close collaboration with the employer is of paramount importance in this phase of rehabilitation.
