A hand therapy clinic at 243 Nayland Road in Stoke, Nelson, just down from Broadgreen Intermediate. It is a locally owned family business, and it describes itself as Nelson's only dedicated hand, wrist and upper limb clinic. It was established in 2004 by Trish Brown, and is now directed by Elliot Frizelle.
The team is made up of three physiotherapists who are registered hand therapists, plus an associate hand therapist in training for registration. Part of the team works with the orthopaedic surgeons at the Nelson Hospital outpatient clinic, so the clinic can be involved in a patient's treatment from start to finish. Hand therapy covers the assessment and treatment of conditions in the hand, wrist and upper limb.
Treatment for ACC injuries carries no surcharge. There is an initial one-off administration fee per injury, which is $25 and rises to $30 from 1 October, as at 2026. Enquiries are made through a form on the website, with a reply within two working days. More urgent matters are handled by phone.
