Hand Therapy
Physical Therapy & Hand Centers is dedicated to providing a specialized and distinguished service through our Certified Hand Therapists (CHT). These professionals not only hold the esteemed CHT certification but also boast the credentials of licensed Physical Therapists, demonstrating a profound understanding of the entire musculoskeletal system and its intricate interplay.
Our CHTs, a unique minority within the CHT community, represent a significant asset in delivering comprehensive care. Their dual qualifications empower them to conduct a comprehensive evaluation, taking into consideration the intricacies of hand function, wrist mobility, and upper extremity mechanics, while concurrently assessing their impact on the broader musculoskeletal system. This nuanced approach allows our CHTs to uncover underlying issues that may contribute to your hand or upper extremity condition.
By harnessing their expertise, our CHTs can craft a tailored and multifaceted treatment plan designed to address not only the immediate concerns but also the root causes of your condition. This approach ensures a more effective and sustainable recovery process. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or managing a chronic hand condition, our CHTs are well-equipped to guide you toward your rehabilitation goals.
At Physical Therapy & Hand Centers, we recognize the pivotal role hand function plays in your daily life and overall well-being. Our commitment is to provide not only therapeutic interventions but also education and support to enhance your understanding of your condition and facilitate your return to the activities you cherish. Our CHTs stand at the forefront of hand therapy, ready to empower you on your journey to recovery and a more fulfilling, pain-free life.
