Understanding Hand Therapy

Hand therapy is a specialized area of rehabilitation that focuses on treating conditions affecting the hands, wrists, and upper extremities. Our hands are incredibly intricate and essential for performing a wide range of tasks, from basic self-care activities to complex fine motor movements. Hand therapists are occupational or physical therapists with advanced training in assessing, diagnosing, and treating hand-related issues. With their in-depth knowledge of the anatomy, biomechanics, and function of the hands, hand therapists design individualized treatment plans to promote healing, restore function, and enhance overall hand and arm health.

Hand injuries, surgical procedures, and chronic conditions can significantly impact hand function and quality of life. At OSSM, our hand therapy services are designed to provide comprehensive rehabilitation tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Whether you’re recovering from a fracture, tendon injury, nerve damage, or undergoing post-operative care, our hand therapists work collaboratively with our expert surgeons to optimize your recovery journey. Treatment may include a combination of exercises to improve strength and range of motion, manual techniques to reduce pain and swelling, custom splinting for support, and education on injury prevention and self-care techniques.

Our hand therapy team at OSSM is experienced in addressing a wide spectrum of hand and upper extremity conditions. From common issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and tennis elbow to more complex cases involving traumatic injuries or post-surgical rehabilitation, our therapists are equipped with the knowledge and skills to provide effective interventions. We recognize that each patient’s situation is unique, and our therapists are committed to tailoring treatment plans to suit your specific needs, goals, and preferences.
