Are you having problems with your arm, wrist, elbow, or hand? This can be a very irritating issue to have because we use them for many of our daily activities. Until you get proper therapy and care for your injury you may not be able to complete the tasks that you need to.

Hand therapy can help you to regain as much function as possible after surgery or injury. A certified hand therapist will often start helping you right after your surgery or injury and will be with you until you regain function and can return to work and your daily activities.

What is hand therapy?

Hand therapy is not only for the hand, but also for any injury or condition affecting the arm, shoulder, elbow, forearm, and wrist.

A certified hand therapist is an occupational therapist that is often certified in hand therapy. Your hand therapist will perform an evaluation to check your musculoskeletal, sensory, strength, and ADL to determine what treatment plan will be best for your recovery.

What physical therapy treatments can help?

There are quite a few physical therapy techniques that my team and I can use to reduce pain and improve mobility through hand therapy. Below are a few of the ways we can help you here at Evolve.

Manual Physical Therapy: Our therapists use this kind of therapy to help relieve any pain that you may have, as well as to improve your joint mobility. This can help to restore function in your hand after an injury as well.
