Specialized Care for the Hand, Wrist, Elbow & Shoulder

Occupational therapy focuses on helping you regain independence with everyday activities, from simple tasks to more complex movements.

What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapists commonly treat conditions involving the hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders, helping you return to daily tasks such as dressing, cooking, working, and other activities that are important to you.


Whether recovering from an injury, surgery, or chronic condition, occupational therapy is designed to help you use your hands and arms more comfortably and confidently throughout the day.
