Hand Therapy Rehabilitation Program

Specialized Hand and Upper Extremity Care

The Rehabilitation Institute at Sinai offers specialized occupational therapy services for the evaluation and treatment of conditions affecting the hand and upper extremity.

Our program provides comprehensive care for individuals recovering from injury, surgery, or managing complex upper extremity conditions, with a focus on restoring function and improving quality of life.

Care is delivered by occupational therapists who are certified hand therapists (CHTs) through the Hand Therapy Certification Commission. CHTs have advanced training in the management of traumatic injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, conservative (non-surgical) treatments, and complex upper extremity disorders.
