Open Hand Therapy Initiative
Improve your hand therapy skills with our webinars!
Learn how to treat hand injuries while facing the challenges of a low resource setting such as limited resources, late referrals, and a lack of support. Discover treatment guidelines for a wide range of hand conditions, hand therapy exercises and other helpful resources.
We are passionate about helping you to become more confident in treating hand injuries so that you can achieve good outcomes for your patients.
Our webinars are aimed at occupational therapists and physiotherapists who see patients with hand injuries but do not have specialised training in this area. However, anyone who is interested in hand therapy coud benefit from watching them!
