hand therapy

Orthopedic occupational therapy focuses on restoring hand and upper-extremity function after injury, surgery, or overuse conditions. Our experienced occupational therapists use evidence-based treatment techniques to reduce pain and swelling, improve range of motion, rebuild strength, and restore fine motor control. Whether patients are recovering from fractures, tendon injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, or post-surgical procedures, therapy is designed to help them safely return to work, sports, and everyday activities like dressing, writing, lifting, and gripping objects. By combining therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, splinting, and activity-based training, orthopedic occupational therapy helps individuals regain function, prevent future injury, and return to the activities that matter most.
