Services
Certified Hand Therapy
Specialized care for the elbow, wrist and hand from Certified Hand Therapists, including custom splinting and post-surgical rehab.
Who needs a hand therapist?
Anyone with an injury or condition of the elbow, wrist or fingers, whether it came from sudden trauma such as a fracture or amputation, developed gradually like carpal tunnel syndrome, or is chronic like arthritis.
What "CHT" means
A Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) is credentialed by the Hand Therapy Certification Commission. Earning it takes at least five years of practice, more than 2,000 hours of hand therapy experience and a rigorous exam. This is different from the HTC, which is issued by the California Board of Occupational Therapy. We have Certified Hand Therapists on staff.
Our approach
Treatment combines exercise, massage, joint mobilization and functional training, with an emphasis on moving the injured area as soon as it's safe. That matters in the hand: swelling can harden tissue, and scarring can shorten joint capsules and tighten ligaments. Early, guided movement helps clear swelling and protect your range of motion.
We also make advanced custom splints for upper-limb injuries and post-surgical immobilization.
