Benefits of Hand Therapy
Everyone wants to lead an independent life where they can effectively care for themselves. Occupational therapy helps individuals with physical, emotional, or developmental disabilities lead productive, independent, and satisfying lives. It aims to restore a person’s ability to perform daily tasks independently.
It is also one of the only treatments with the primary focus on improving specific self-care skills. These skills can include dressing, eating, meal preparation, and driving. Lena Steinberg, OT, CHT, is our occupational therapist and certified hand therapist on staff who will provide compensatory techniques to help improve and restore your ability to complete daily tasks. There are several benefits you can gain with our hand therapy program, including:
- Improved strength and range of motion.
- Decreased pain.
- Improved adaptive strategies.
- Increased independence.
- Improved memory.
- Home safety modifications and adaptive equipment.
At H&D Physical Therapy, our specialists are here for you and will monitor how well you are adapting and improving throughout your recovery intervention. Our team will help you meet your goals and achieve a healthy and independent life through our occupational therapy and hand therapy programs.
