Therapists

The Hand Therapists are equipped to help you protect your healing repairs, promote healing, and improve motion, strength, and dexterity.

The Hand Therapists will expedite your ability to return to independence with activities of daily living and return to work.

Our certified hand therapists have extensive training and an average of 15 years work experience in this specialty area.

It is important that the patient is comfortable and well-motivated for best clinical results. We work closely with surgeons, physicians, and case managers to achieve optimal results.

The certified hand therapist works closely with the physician and often starts treatment within days of the surgery or injury. 

Supervised progression of exercise is important to ensure that a range of motion and strength is progressed appropriately to restore the patient to the highest level of function possible. For more information, Contact Us today at St. Louis, Creve Coeur, Ellisville, Saint Peters, O’Fallon, Saint Charles, Warrenton & Wentzville, MO Centers.
