What is a Hand Therapist?
 A hand therapist is an occupational or physical therapist who, through
advanced study, specialized in rehabilitating patients with conditions
affecting the hands and upper extremity.
A hand therapist works with patients who may have been affected
by an accident or trauma leaving them with wounds, scars, burns,
injured tendons or nerves, fractures or even amputation of the finger,
hands or arms.
A hand therapist also treats patients who are disabled
with the effects of repetitive motion disorders such as tennis elbow
and carpal tunnel syndrome. Many patients seeking the care of a hand
therapist also suffer from chronic problems such as arthritis or
a neurological
condition.
Each of our hand therapists has a degree in Occupational
Therapy and has completed the requirements for a Certified Hand Therapist.
Their combined hand therapy experience totals more than 50 years
of hand and upper extremity rehabilitation.
