Hand Therapy

Hand therapy is the method of evaluating and treating injuries related to the upper extremity of the body including the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, shoulder, or entire arm.

Our certified hand therapists use specific techniques to help return a patient to doing things they love.

Hand therapists are also occupational therapists (OT) or physical therapists (PT) who, through extensive continuing education and significant clinical experience are skilled in using advanced therapeutic techniques, state of the art equipment, and custom fabrication of both static and dynamic splints to help return each patient to the highest level of function possible.
