What is a Hand Therapist?
Hand therapists are physical or occupational therapists with extensive training, clinical practice, and expertise in anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology of the upper extremity. This knowledge enables them to smoothly transition the patient from the medical intervention of pathological upper extremity conditions to successful recovery. Hand therapists help patients recover faster after surgery through the use of patient education, wound healing, modalities, infection prevention, scar care, and inflammation relief.
A certified hand therapist has at least three years of practice with a minimum of 4,000 hours of clinical treatment for hand and arm afflictions. To achieve certification, hand therapists must prove their proficiency by passing an extensive certification exam.
