Certified hand therapy
Focused care for the hand, wrist and elbow
Every plan of care is built and delivered by Deborah Austin, OTR, CHT — a Certified Hand Therapist. You see the same therapist at every visit, and your progress is measured, not guessed.
Conditions we treat
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Nerve gliding, activity modification, night orthoses and graded strengthening to relieve numbness and restore grip — conservatively or after release surgery.
Trigger finger & tendonitis
Targeted tendon gliding, custom blocking orthoses and inflammation control so the finger moves smoothly again without catching.
Post-surgical recovery
Protocol-driven care after tendon repair, fracture fixation, joint replacement, Dupuytren's release and nerve repair, coordinated with your surgeon.
Arthritis of the hand & thumb
Joint protection training, thumb CMC orthoses, gentle strengthening and adaptive techniques that make daily tasks comfortable again.
Fractures & sprains
Safe progression from protection to motion to strength for wrist, hand and finger fractures, with edema and scar management throughout.
Tendon & nerve injuries
Precise, staged rehabilitation that respects healing timelines while preventing stiffness, adhesions and sensory loss.
Custom orthotic fabrication
Orthoses are molded in the office, to your hand, during your visit — no mail-order waiting and no off-the-shelf compromises. We adjust the fit as your swelling and motion change so the splint keeps working for you.
- Thumb CMC and wrist support orthoses
- Post-operative protective and dynamic splints
- Finger blocking, extension and mallet orthoses
- Night resting orthoses for nerve compression
