Certified Hand Therapy

Certified Hand Therapists (CHT) are occupational or physical therapists who have a minimum of five (5) years of clinical experience, including 4000 hours or more in direct provision of upper extremity therapy. Additionally, a CHT must successfully pass a comprehensive examination of advanced clinical skills and theory in upper extremity rehabilitation. These clinicians have demonstrated a commitment to excellence by obtaining this voluntary credential.

Our hand therapists are some of the best in the business. Staff mentoring by the CHT’s, monthly inservices and study groups for therapists preparing to sit for the CHT exam ensure that our therapists maintain a high level of competency and are knowledgeable in current surgical techniques and post-operative therapy programs. Finally, close working relationships with referring physicians maximize treatment outcomes.
