Comprehensive Hand & Rehabilitation
Hand therapy is the art and science of rehabilitation of upper quarter of the human body.
It is the merging of occupational therapy and physical therapy theory and practice that combines compressive knowledge of the upper quarter, body function, and activity. Using specialized skills and assessment and treatment, hand therapists promote the goals of the prevention of dysfunction, restoration of function, and/or reversal of the progression of pathology in order to enhance participation in life situations for individuals with upper quarter disease or injury.

Commonly Treated Diagnosis
The following services are just a fraction of what we offer.
Finger
Finger injuries are often painful. They require the skill of a Certified Hand Therapist because the anatomy is small and complex.
Hand
Hand injuries often occur after trauma. Many times patients have swelling. Certified Hand Therapists help decrease swelling and get the patient completing safe range of motion.
Wrist
The wrist is complicated. It has eight small bones that are responsible or 50% of the range of motion as well as many tendon and important nerves and blood vessels.
Elbow
The elbow is a hinge joint. There are some vital ligaments that support the elbow. In addition the ulnar nerve can be susceptible to injury. The wrist flexors and extensors originate at the elbow.
Shoulder
Many degenerative changes occur in the rotator cuff. The muscles are small and have decreased blood supply. Trauma to the shoulder is often common due to falls, and sporting injuries. The Certified Hand Therapist can help to increase range of motion, strength, and function.
