Hand, Wrist, Elbow & Shoulder Rehabilitation

Hand Therapy

Our certified hand therapists specialize in treating the entire upper limb — including outpatient rehabilitation of the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder — and have the experience, credentials and skills to help you heal.

If you’ve had an injury, have pain or experience weakness in your upper limbs, you may benefit from treatment by a certified hand therapist (CHT). CHTs are specialized rehabilitation professionals with thousands of hours of advanced training and national certification through the Hand Therapy Certification Commission. Hand therapy merges physical and occupational therapy theory with an in-depth knowledge of anatomy, function and healing to help you return to the activities that matter most.

Outpatient Hand Therapy Services

Our certified hand therapists help restore function and mobility to the upper extremities. We offer post-surgical rehabilitation and treat conditions affecting the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder, including:

Outpatient appointments with our CHTs are available at our downtown Chicago location (Floor 15 South).
