Certified Hand Therapy

What is 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.
