Description

Handworks is a specialised Hand Therapy service providing expert diagnosis and rehabilitation for clients with hand injuries and upper limb dysfunction.

Conditions treated include:

  • Acute hand trauma: i.e. fractures, dislocations, sprains, lacerations, tendons/nerves, crush injuries, burns, replantations
  • Overuse and pain presentations
  • Sports injuries of elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand
  • Post-operative hand surgery; i.e. Dupuytrens, joint replacements, repairs and reconstructions of tendons and nerves
  • Arthritic conditions of the hand
  • Paediatric and neurological hands


Handworks’ main clinic is in Greenlane/Epsom, with four satellite clinics in St Johns, Botany Downs, Mt Albert and Howick, ensuring easy access for central and eastern Auckland hand rehab clients.
