Our exceptional team of certified hand therapists have over 125 years of combined experience and are uniquely skilled in establishing individualized treatment programs to match patient needs and surgeon protocols. We pride ourselves on our holistic, individualized, patient-focused approach to evaluation and treatment of various orthopedic injuries, disorders, and diseases of the upper extremity.
When seeking medical attention for an injury or following surgery of the upper extremity, it is extremely important to find a doctor who specializes in the shoulder, arm, wrist, or hand. The same philosophy goes for your hand therapist, the person who continues and complements the care initiated by your doctor.

History & Philosophy
Report
The concept for HANDS-ON REHAB was forged on the belief that all patients referred to a hand therapy practice need to be treated in a professional, ethical manner by a therapist and not a therapy care extender who is not fully trained or certified.
It was the mid 1990s when huge corporations were acquiring private therapy practices and creating therapy "factories" where patients were evaluated by a therapist but most of their care was administered by an aide with less training.Joan Sullivan, MA, OTR, CHT, Dennis DeStefano, DDS, MA, OTR, and Sally Poole, MA, OTR, CHT decided to form their own professional corporation, Hands-On Rehab.

Areas of Expertise
Report
There are many advantages to a surgical procedure: long-lasting pain relief, better hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder function, and an overall improvement in quality of life. Unfortunately, most surgical procedures alone cannot eliminate your issue. A structured rehabilitation and treatment plan will complement the skilled work of your surgeon, giving you the highest probability of a swift and full recovery.
