Occupational Therapy at OSNI

Occupational Therapy

Hand therapy is a rehabilitation specialty that focuses on tissue manipulation and healing of the hand and arm to increase skill and strength as needed for individual activities of daily living, employment tasks, and personal hobbies. Protection of ligaments, joints, tendons and nerves is essential throughout the rehabilitation process. Adaptive equipment and splints, created by our Certified Hand Specialist, may be utilized to maximize function and safety. Because of the intricacies of hand design, communication among patient, therapist and physician is imperative and a priority for optimal recovery. Patient education leading to self-management is stressed.
