Occupational Rehab: The Benefits of Hand Therapy

Occupational rehab is a type of physical therapy that helps you restore movement after an injury or disease. It often includes helping people relearn daily activities after a stroke, accident or other condition.

Hand therapy falls into this category. Our team at Continuum Wellness provides hand therapy as a part of our physical therapy practice. We will always begin by performing an initial assessment of your injury. This way we can establish what issues you’re having.

Once we have this information, we can create a personalized treatment plan for you. We will focus your hand therapy on restoring movement and strength for your daily activities.
