Orthopedic
Occupational Therapy
At Rehab United, our occupational therapists (OTs) specialize in treating upper extremity conditions, particularly those affecting the elbow, wrist, and hand. With a focus on function and pain management, our OTs identify and address the root cause of issues, considering occupational participation and improving ergonomics and other habits that may contribute to the problem. Through manual treatment techniques, stretching, and strengthening exercises, we reduce pain and improve functional activity participation.
