For the safety of vulnerable persons, if you are able and willing, it is still advised to get a Covid negative test prior to treatment. This is due to the predicted spike of COVID case numbers and the difficulty to ascertain the disease through symptoms alone. Should you have any symptoms of fever, sore throat and cough, please do not attend your appointment until you have a negative Covid test. This is totally voluntary but strongly recommended to keep all people safe. All staff at The Hands Physio are fully vaccinated for the health & safety of all patients. Thank you for your understanding & compliance. - Rebecca Farr, Founding Director

We focus on tissue healing and mechanisms of injury, founded upon our expertise and knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and our team genuinely cares for each individual who walks through the front door.
Besides treatments for sports, rock climbing, workplace, and musician injuries, we provide therapeutic services for the following conditions and injuries.
At The Hands Physio we are now offering excellent Telehealth physiotherapy and hand therapy treatment programs.
We are operating under NSW health guidelines to keep you safe during the COVID-19 season.
