My daughter had a post op appointment to have a wrist splint especially made for her. The lady who saw my daughter was lovely and extremely helpful with post op after care and also gave her wound care advice. She was highly knowledgeable, confident and caring towards my daughter. Highly recommend Melbourne Hand Therapy.

These Hand Therapists are amazing in my eyes. It's so interesting watching them create and mould a splint for my thumb (currently on my second splint). And excellent practical advice to move forward with. I feel very well supported!

I am so grateful my GP suggested I check out Melbourne Hand Therapy Boronia where I met Veryn. She was very quick to identify my issues and put me on the right rehab path from the very first session. I have had 2 sessions now with Veryn and I can already feel the improvement. She explained the condition, the exercises and a way forward very clearly. Veryn is very knowledgeable, warm and supportive - thanks to her my optimism has returned. Highly recommend

Meeting with Emeline was a most enjoyable and productive experience. Immediately I became aware Emeline was most knowledgeable and experienced, as well as being friendly and professional. She detailed exercises for me which were most focussed and appropriate, and have achieved excellent results in a comparatively short period of time. I would recommend this business, and in particular Emeline to any prospective patient.Michael J Glinski
