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.
