Communication between your hand therapist, treating surgeon/GP and the workplace can make returning to work after a hand injury a positive experience.

It’s important that a return to work is well organised and safe for the injured worker.

We like to assist with the planning for a return to work very early in the rehabilitation process if we feel suitable work is available for the employee and they are not at risk of re-injury. In more complex cases, we will seek a referral to an occupational rehabilitation provider for assistance with return to work planning.
