Advanced Care For Complex Hand, Wrist And Arm Injuries
Your hands, wrists and arms are involved in nearly everything you do — from work and hobbies to simple daily tasks like buttoning a shirt or opening a door. When pain, stiffness or injury disrupt your hand function, it can be incredibly frustrating. That’s where Certified Hand Therapy (CHT) makes all the difference.
At Sports Rehab PT’s Ponder and Decatur locations, our Certified Hand Therapist provides highly specialized care for patients with complex upper extremity conditions, delivering advanced techniques and personalized treatment that helps restore comfort, strength and function.
What Is Certified Hand Therapy (CHT)?
The anatomy of the hand, wrist and arm is incredibly intricate. Successful rehab requires not only experience, but specialized training. A Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) is a licensed therapist with advanced education, rigorous certification and deep expertise in treating complex injuries of the upper extremity.
At Sports Rehab PT, our CHT combines years of experience with innovative, evidence-based treatments to provide world-class care for patients in our community.


What Hand Therapy Looks Like At Sports Rehab PT
Your therapy plan is never one-size-fits-all. After a thorough evaluation, your Certified Hand Therapist will create a customized program that may include:
- Manual therapy to mobilize joints and soft tissues
- Custom splint fabrication for protection or improved function
- Scar management techniques
- Strengthening and fine motor training to restore grip and dexterity
- Swelling and pain management strategies
- Education on joint protection and injury prevention
- Work conditioning to help you return safely to your job or daily activities
Our goal is not only to reduce pain, but to restore full, functional use of your hand and arm — so you can return to the work, hobbies and daily tasks that matter most.
