Hand Therapy

Hand therapy helps a patient regain maximum use of his or her hand after injury, surgery or the onset of disease. Treatment is provided by a hand therapist who is first trained as an occupational or physical therapist and then receives additional training in hand therapy. Hand therapists teach exercises, apply modalities and create custom splints to help the hand heal and protect it from additional injury.
