What is Hand Therapy?

Hand therapy is the art and science of evaluating and treating injuries and conditions of the upper extremity (shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand). Hand therapy uses a number of therapeutic interventions to help you return to your highest level of function.

A Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) has practiced for at least three years while accumulating at least 4000 hours of hand and upper extremity experience in addition to passing a rigorous certification examination.

What Our Clients Say

Colleen

Craig treated me for a tendon problem in my finger and was wonderful. He was extremely professional and able to figure out exactly how to fix my problem. I got a clear home exercise program as well as a splint made right in the office. I am grateful that my problem was resolved and I had such a positive experience.

Allie

Exceptional Therapy from Craig at Hand Therapy of Michigan. I came in with stiffness and pain from an elbow injury and after a couple of months, am able to more fully return to normal activities, straighten my arm more, and am pain free! Would highly recommend Craig’s services to anyone needing hand or arm therapy.

Abbey

As a result of a car accident on 11/24/15, my left arm was amputated just below the elbow. I received a myoelectric prosthesis about a year later. I started working with Craig at Hand Therapy of Michigan to learn how to use my prosthesis. I can now use it to carry objects and assist my right hand with many daily tasks. I would absolutely come back to Hand Therapy of Michigan. Their staff is amazing! I am so thankful for the prosthetic training I received!

SLM

Hand Therapy of Michigan is wonderful! I had surgery on both of my hands and HTOM made my recovery worry free. They took time to explain all of my treatment so I knew what to expect and I felt they listened to my concerns as if I was a member of their family, allowing me to be seen between two locations and giving me instructions for home treatment. I had originally dreaded going to therapy, but would now recommend HTOM to anyone needing similar treatment. Their therapists get an A+ in my book!
