Mrs Amanda Howse
Hand Therapist, Physiotherapist
Amanda is a highly experienced hand therapist, bringing over 22 years of expertise to her role. Hand therapy is a specialised field focused on the evaluation and treatment of injuries affecting the upper limb — including the shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand — and requires advanced training and hands-on expertise. While Amanda has a strong passion for hand and upper limb rehabilitation, she is also highly skilled in managing a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries across the body. Amanda is dedicated to helping her clients restore function, reduce pain, and return to the activities they enjoy. She takes a practical and supportive approach to treatment, ensuring each client receives individualised care suited to their needs. Outside the clinic, Amanda leads a busy life helping her husband on the farm and enjoys spending time with their two children. As a family, they love fishing, farming, and playing sports, making the most of the great outdoors whenever they can. View details »
