Occupational Therapy and Rehab for Hand & Upper Extremity Conditions and Injuries in Central GA

Those facing a hand or upper extremity condition or injury may find it more difficult to perform daily activities and continue to participate in hobbies they enjoy. This is where Occupational Therapy comes into play. Through collaboration between the physician, the patient, and their family, our therapists develop individualized treatment programs focused on the unique needs of each patient. Occupational therapy of the hand and upper extremity is aimed at restoring motion, strength, sensation, coordination, and function for daily tasks so that patients can get back to doing what they love. Your physician will let you know if they think hand therapy is the best next step for you, and if so, they will refer you to one of our occupational therapists or certified hand therapists at OrthoGeorgia.
