🔍 What is Adult Therapy at Sherin’s Rainbow?

Our Adult Therapy division provides specialised rehabilitation across three critical areas: Orthopaedic Therapy for joint and musculoskeletal conditions, Neurological Therapy for stroke, brain injury and progressive neurological conditions, and Hand Therapy for upper limb injuries, post-surgical recovery and chronic hand conditions.

Our adult therapists hold advanced clinical training and use techniques including Manual Therapy, Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT/Bobath), Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), Mirror Therapy, Progressive Resistance Training, Joint Mobilisation, Splinting and Functional Task Training to restore maximum function and independence.

We believe every adult deserves to reclaim their independence, return to their roles and participate fully in life after injury, surgery or neurological change. Our approach is goal-focused, collaborative and deeply respectful of each person’s priorities and life context.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a doctor’s referral to access adult therapy? ▼
A referral is not mandatory to book an adult therapy assessment, though we strongly recommend bringing any relevant medical reports, imaging (X-ray, MRI), surgical discharge notes or specialist letters to your first appointment. We work collaboratively with your medical team and can communicate directly with your doctor or surgeon with your consent.
How soon after a stroke should I start neurological therapy? ▼
Neurological rehabilitation should begin as soon as the patient is medically stable — ideally within the first days to weeks after stroke. The brain is most neuroplastic in the early post-stroke period, making early intensive therapy critical for maximising recovery. However, it is never too late to begin rehabilitation — meaningful improvement is possible even years after a stroke.
What is hand therapy and who performs it? ▼
Hand therapy is a clinical specialisation performed by Occupational Therapists or Physiotherapists with advanced postgraduate training in upper limb rehabilitation. It addresses conditions affecting the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow and shoulder using thermoplastic splinting, edema management, scar management, desensitisation, nerve and tendon mobilisation, and progressive functional hand strengthening.
Will I be able to return to work after rehabilitation? ▼
Return to work is one of the most common and meaningful goals our adult therapy clients set. We conduct a work demands analysis and tailor rehabilitation to the specific physical and cognitive requirements of your occupation. We can also provide a formal return-to-work letter and graduated return plan for your employer where needed.
