What It Is

Your hands do everything. We get them back.

Your arms and hands are involved in almost everything you do, which is why even a small injury can make a normal day hard. Hand and upper extremity therapy focuses on the fingers, hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder: the strength, motion, coordination, and grip that everyday tasks depend on.

We start by finding what’s actually limiting you, then combine hands-on treatment with targeted exercise, and practice the specific tasks you’re struggling with, so the gains carry over to work, home, and hobbies.
