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.
