What is Occupational and Hand Therapy?

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a holistic healthcare profession that helps people of all ages participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). For those with hand and upper extremity conditions, this means regaining the skills for independent living, work, and recreation.

Hand Therapy is a specialized area of occupational therapy that focuses on the intricate structures of the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. Our certified or highly experienced hand therapists have a deep understanding of the complex anatomy of the upper extremities and are equipped to treat a wide range of conditions.
