Your hands do everything, so when the hand, wrist, or elbow stops cooperating, daily life gets hard fast. Hand therapy is specialized rehabilitation for the upper extremity.
Hand therapy is the rehabilitation of injuries and conditions of the hand, wrist, and elbow, often delivered by a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) with advanced training in exactly these injuries. Care combines pain and swelling management, targeted strengthening and mobility work, activity modification, and custom splinting when it’s needed.
“Highest-quality people providing the most evidence-based medicine that produces the best outcomes and creates the best value.”
A CHT has earned advanced certification and expertise in treating the upper extremity.
We ease pain and inflammation, then rebuild strength and range of motion with targeted exercise.
Care may include custom splinting or orthoses to protect and support healing tissue.
Plans are built around what you need your hands to do, work, hobbies, and everyday tasks.
We treat a wide range of hand, wrist, and elbow problems, including:
Pain, numbness, and tingling from pressure on the median nerve at the wrist.
Overuse tendinopathy on the outer or inner elbow.
Painful thumb-side wrist tendons, common with lifting and gripping.
Catching, locking, and pain from an inflamed flexor tendon.
Restoring motion and strength after a break or time in a cast.
Managing pain and preserving function with joint-friendly strategies.
