Contact Us What is Hand Therapy?
Certified hand therapists (CHTs) are physical or occupational therapists who demonstrate a personal dedication to the profession of hand therapy and a desire for advanced competency. They have the highest level of training in the profession for the treatment of hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders.
