Natasha Huggins

Natasha Huggins graduated from Deakin University with a Bachelor of Psychological Science before completing a Master of Occupational Therapy Practice at La Trobe University. During University Natasha studied a variety of health-related fields including human anatomy and psychological sciences.

Prior to working with Action Rehab, Natasha gained clinical experience working in paediatrics and occupational rehabilitation. Natasha developed a passion for hand therapy during her final clinical placement which she undertook in one of Eastern Health’s hand therapy clinics. She believes this passion grew from her interest in the anatomy of the upper limb and seeing the direct impact that hand therapy can have on someone’s life and engagement in their occupations. Natasha strives to help patients return to their pre-injury level, whether that be work, sport, hobbies, or anything that is important to them.

Natasha particularly enjoys staying up to date with the latest in hand therapy research and developing tailored rehabilitation programs with her patients to ensure the best possible patient outcomes. Outside of work you’ll find Natasha spending time with family and friends, playing volleyball, roller skating, and going to AFL games to support Carlton.

As an Occupational Therapist with Action Rehab, Natasha dedicates her time to supporting people to improve their functional capacity and engage in activities that are meaningful to them.
