Hand Therapy

Our hand therapists are available to assess and treat a wide range of hand, wrist, and arm conditions. During your consultation, your therapist will talk with you about your symptoms and what may be contributing to the problem. They may also review any relevant imaging, such as X-rays, and perform a thorough assessment of your hand, wrist, or arm to determine the best approach to treatment.
