Hand & Upper Extremity Therapy
Using a combination of treatments, exercises, education and state-of-the-art
equipment, our certified hand therapists help patients achieve healing
and maximum functional use of their hands and arms. Our therapists are
highly skilled in all aspects of hand and upper extremity therapy, including:
- manual therapy
- custom splinting
- wound care
- lymphedema treatment
Patients are seen individually so we can focus on their specific needs
and concerns. Individualized treatment plans focus on pain control and
healing. Therapies are designed to increase strength, coordination and
range of motion, returning use of the injured hand or arm as quickly and
fully as possible.
