At MWMC, we have Certified Hand Therapists at each site. A CHT specializes in rehabilitating patients with problems affecting the hands and upper extremity. This degree of specialized knowledge is achieved through advanced study and allows the therapist to work with patients to return to a productive lifestyle. Unique problems are identified and effectively treated and rehabilitated through:

• Management of open or sutured wounds to aid healing
• Control of hypertrophic (raised/swollen) or hypersensitive scars
• Management of acute or chronic pain
• Design and implement exercise programs to increase motion, dexterity, and strength
• Custom-made splints for immobilization, mobilization, and/or protection
• Adaptations for daily activities at home or work
• Conditioning prior to returning to work/school/sports after injury
• Sensory re-education after nerve injury
