Hand rehabilitation is a specialty area of orthopedic injuries of the upper extremity. After years of training, an occupational or physical therapist can earn a hand therapy designation as a certified hand therapist (CHT). Our hand therapists are knowledgeable in the most current treatment protocols and products, and they work closely with the surgeons. They are skilled in custom splint fabrication, which they can create on-site at your visit.

Some of the injuries seen by our specialists at Apple Therapy happen at work or during sports activities. It is our goal to restore normal function to these individuals following their injuries or surgical procedures. Our CHTs are also skilled in the area of custom fabrication of orthotic splints.
