Focus areas
Our Mission
We will promote wellness, relieve suffering, and restore health to all we serve as swiftly and safely as it can be done.
You may have noticed that our logo consists of a larger hand holding a smaller hand. The idea for our logo came to Annie (Principal Hand Therapist) whilst holding her nephew's hand and imagining all the things he may do as he grows up.
In the same way, Handcare Physiotherapy strives to safely guide you through the recovery process, helping you to achieve your optimal health.
