We are a progressive practice known for delivering excellent patient outcomes in a very supportive and close-knit team environment. Our therapists work closely with a team of Hand and Upper Limb Surgeons, Specialists and GP's. Our team is very stable with a low turnover, with many staff having worked for MHT for 10- 20 years; citing the company as being supportive, caring and offering exceptional care to patients.

This allows us to have therapists who have developed a reputation for their clinical expertise in particular specialty areas such as shoulder, complex wrists, wounds, post-operative care and also diagnosing and managing conservatively treated conditions.

Further training and ongoing support will be provided, however post graduate hand therapy experience is preferred.
