ABOUT ABLE HANDS REHABILITATION

We are highly specialized in taking care of all hand injuries and impairments. We evaluate hand injuries and surgery patients together after video-conferencing and come up with a treatment plan that includes the use of all modalities of professional hand therapy such as paraffin wax, hot-cold packs, ultrasound, NMES (electrical stimulation).

Our plan for hand injury treatment also consists of manual therapy techniques, edema control techniques, scar management techniques and regaining range of motion with exercises, and static or dynamic custom splinting programs.
Hand pain therapy interventions as above are constantly changing as per your progress and the timing of these changes is critical in regaining full hand functions. Keeping pleasant and friendly surroundings in our offices is a magic that we have in our practices!

Our certified and professional hand therapists are friendly and make personal bonds with hand trauma patients. This bond of trust helps us and the patient go through all the hardships that come with hand injury treatment and hand stiffness treatment.

In essence, the ‘Certified Hand Therapist,’ or ‘CHT’ can be an Occupational Therapist or a Physical Therapist, who is licensed and a practicing therapist in the United States for more than five years with extensive hands-on experience of at least 4000 hours, in treating hand injuries and impairments. Our occupational therapists also specialize in wrist fracture treatments, trigger thumb treatment, and trigger finger therapy.

When all the strict pre-conditions are met, the therapist then takes a difficult board examination conducted by Hand Therapy Certification Commission. Upon passing the test, the community has a new Certified Hand Therapist. He or she can then provide specialized Hand Therapy services to all patients with hand trauma or surgery and call themselves CHT’s.

CHT’s are always trusted and preferred by all Specialist Hand Surgeons (Plastic or Orthopedic), to take care of their post-surgical and post trauma hand patients. This trust develops due to our ability to give them excellent results and making their patients happy for regaining as much hand functions as possible.

We as human beings, interact with our environment through our hands and make things happen in our professional and personal life. Hands perform millions of functions for us every day without us even thinking about it!

It is exactly the reason why hands are so intricate and complicated.

Compromising the hand functions, due to injury or impairment, can reduce our interaction with the world significantly, affecting our psycho-social life. Loss of hand functions is a devastating blow to any human being and need to be taken seriously.

Certified Hand Therapist’s know how to take care of wounded and disabled hands in a very specialized and methodical way. The goal is to make hands better in function as well as in appearance.
