Hand Therapy (CHT)

Hand Therapy (CHT)

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.
