Zoe Frances Hardy is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Chatswood, NSW.
You can find her at 845 Pacific Highway, Chatswood NSW 2067. Zoe works with people who need practical support to get back to everyday activities, especially when hands and daily tasks have been affected by injury or other issues.
A big part of Zoe’s work is assessment and treatment of hand injuries. This can include getting a clear picture of what’s happening, checking how the hand is moving and working, and then choosing the right next steps. In many cases, the goal is simple: help you use your hand in safer ways and build up strength and comfort over time.
Zoe also helps with development of customised home exercise programs. These are made to fit around real life, not just the clinic. The exercises are explained clearly, and they’re aimed at helping you stay on track between appointments.
Another common need Zoe supports is adaptive equipment selection. At times, the right tool can make daily tasks easier, reduce strain, and help you keep doing what matters while you recover. Zoe helps people think through what would suit their situation and how to use equipment properly.
Activities of daily living training is also part of the work Zoe does. That can mean looking at how you do tasks like dressing, eating, washing, and other everyday routines, then breaking things down so they feel more manageable. Sometimes small changes make a big difference.
Zoe’s approach is calm and hands-on. She focuses on practical outcomes and working out a plan you can actually manage at home. If you’re dealing with a hand injury or you’re looking for help to move more comfortably through daily life, Zoe provides assessment and treatment, plus support with home exercises, equipment, and daily activities.
