Hand Therapy

At Doctors of Physical Therapy, our clinicians include specialists in Hand Therapy who provide exceptional, personalized experiences for all our patients. We have clinicians who have obtained or are pursuing Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) certification.

CHT certification comprises a rigorous curriculum focusing solely on hand, arm and shoulder rehabilitation techniques. Our CHTs specialize in treating individuals with conditions affecting the hands and upper extremity. A qualified hand therapist can evaluate and treat any problem related to the upper extremity.

Our specialists are able to create custom splints that meet our patient’s physician requirements. These splints protect and support the affected area and help increase joint mobility as your injury or condition heals.

Each of our therapists work and communicate closely with attending physicians to create treatment plans that work for you and your life. Patients often begin their rehabilitation within days of office visits or post-surgical procedures.    

 

DPT’s Certified Hand Therapists provide FREE Upper Extremity injury screenings.  Call today to schedule a free screening with our exceptional staff.
