A hand therapy clinic inside Albert Medical Centre on Albert Street in Hokowhitu, Palmerston North. It is led by Jaden Lee, a hand therapist and occupational therapist who specialises in the upper limb, from the upper arm and elbow down to the fingers and thumb.
The clinic treats post-operative and traumatic injuries, along with burns and scar management, congenital or progressive conditions, chronic degenerative disorders and repetitive strain injuries. Treatment includes splinting, exercise programmes, education and guided post-surgical protocols. The clinic welcomes walk-in patients as well as referrals for orthopaedic and trauma cases.
Access to the main entrance is by the side stairs, and on-street parking is available on Albert Street and Elmira Avenue. The clinic offers after-hours and urgent appointments, including between 5pm and 7pm, and the website says additional fees may apply. Availability and details are handled by the on-call reception team.
