Hand therapy
is the discipline that addresses injuries and conditions of
the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. Certified hand therapists
are either occupational therapists or physical therapists
who have specialized training in treating upper extremity
conditions through extensive education.
Working
closely with numerous physicians throughout the region, our
hand therapists will ensure a rapid recovery and maximum return
of function.
Our hand
therapists will guide individuals through the evaluation,
treatment and discharge process while coordinating their care
with local physicians. |
