Hand Therapy

What is Hand Therapy?

Hand therapy is a specialized area of rehabilitation focused on treating conditions affecting the hands and upper extremities. It integrates occupational therapy principles to help individuals regain function, strength, and dexterity in their hands following injury, surgery, or medical conditions below. Therapists who specialize in hand therapy use various techniques including activities, exercises, manual therapy, and patient education to optimize recovery and improve the quality of life for their patients.
