Certified Hand Therapy
What is certified hand therapy?
Certified Hand Therapy addresses injuries and conditions of the entire upper limb: the hand, wrist, elbow & shoulder.
Certified Hand Therapists (CHT) are occupational or physical therapists with specialized training in the treatment of upper extremity conditions.
CHTs work closely with physicians and clients to provide specialized assessment, treatment, and preventative care.
