Hand Therapy is the comprehensive treatment of the elbow, wrist and hand designed and delivered by a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT). A CHT is an occupational or physical therapist who has undergone extensive testing and training to obtain the highest professional credential in the specialty of upper extremity rehabilitation.
Common problems managed by CHT’s include but are not limited to: fractures, tendon injuries, nerve compressions/injuries (carpal tunnel), burns, arthritis, tendonitis, sprains and strains, tumors/cysts and amputations.
