OVERVIEW

ABOUT HAND THERAPY

At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Phoenix, AZ, hand therapy helps people who feel limited in ways they never expected. When your hand or wrist stops working the way it used to, even small tasks feel bigger. Some patients come in after a sudden injury. Others have slow, nagging pain from typing all day or gripping tools at work. Some feel numbness that shows up out of nowhere. Others notice their fingers don’t move the same after surgery or swelling. We look at how your hand, wrist, and forearm move as a unit. These areas rely on each other. When one part struggles, the rest pick up the load. Once we see the pattern, we build a plan that matches your routine. It might mean mobility work, strength training, manual therapy, or simple habits you practice at home.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Scheduling is simple. Call Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Phoenix, AZ, or request a visit online. We explain the first session so nothing feels confusing or awkward.

Most hand issues need a handful of sessions. We space them so you heal, but you don’t lose momentum between visits.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

Your therapist checks grip strength, finger movement, wrist stability, and how your forearm reacts when you use your hand. Sometimes the painful spot isn’t the real problem. We sort that out first.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Treatment depends on what your hand needs. Some people need help calming irritation. Others need strength work. Some need more motion. Some need guidance after surgery. Your plan shifts as your symptoms change.

Office was very welcoming from the moment you walked into the office, Marissa and Kelsey were there to greet me. They know all of their patients and treat them like family. Dr. Dault was AMAZING. SHE listened and really searched to find the answers to my pain. Eric was very thorough when doing my ultrasound to diagnose my issue. Their recommendations helped me and in the end my pain decreased! Thank you to the entire team!

I was in a pretty dark place before starting at the Chandler location. My low back pain was completely debilitating and affecting the quality of my life for many years. I saw Phil once a week for 6 weeks and feel stronger and more confident than I have in many, many years. Phil explained the results of my MRI in great detail and answered my questions (as trivial as they might have been) with respect and understanding... I have been to many physical therapists before and the results I got here were the best. I highly recommend the Chandler location and will go back again if I ever need to!

Where do I start with the praise for this Team of miracle workers... I had suffered from chronic lower back pain for the last 8 years due to 32 years of golf and upper back pain due to 13 years of sitting at a desk. I utilized a chiropractor for the past 7 years but the pain ALWAYS came back and I NEVER got better. One visit with Dr. Josh and two X-rays showed the problem was stemming from my foot and a collapsing arch—which my previous chiropractor NEVER took the time to explore and diagnose.

What Are You Experiencing?

You may not know specifically what type of treatment you would require. What you do know is that you hurt, and right now that’s really what is most important. To better know how to serve you, please take a few minutes to fill out this brief form describing the discomfort or pain you are experiencing. With a clearer idea, we will contact you to discuss what may be occurring and how we may be able to assist.

SEVERE PAIN

If you are experiencing severe pain that is not intolerable, don’t wait. Call 911 or proceed directly to your nearby hospital. When the emergency is treated, we will then be prepared to work together to assist you in gaining longer-term relief. 

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Maybe your pain isn’t keeping you back, but it is making daily living a bit harder than it has to be. If it’s sharp, annoying, or keeps coming back, let us know what you’re dealing with. We can start together to investigate why it’s happening and how we can make it better. 

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Minor aches may not seem significant, but sometimes they are your body’s way of telling you it needs a helping hand. The stiffness, soreness, or occasional pains are great things to bring to our attention. Let us know what you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll point you in the direction of care that prevents small issues from turning into large ones.

Answering Your Questions

What conditions can hand therapy help with?
A wide mix. Overuse pain. Sprains. Tendon irritation. Finger stiffness after injury. Numbness linked to nerve irritation. Post-surgical healing. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Phoenix, AZ, every plan is shaped around your daily tasks.
Why do these problems take so long to get better?
Your hands never get true rest. You use them for almost everything, even when you think you’re “taking it easy.” We teach ways to protect the area without stopping life.
Do I need imaging first?
Not always. Many hand problems can be treated based on movement, strength, and symptoms. If imaging helps, we’ll tell you why.
Can hand therapy help people who work at computers all day?
Yes. Long hours gripping a mouse or typing nonstop can overload small muscles. Therapy helps ease that strain so your hands feel more capable again.
How long before I feel improvement?
It varies. Some notice better motion or less tingling within a few visits. Others take longer, especially with long-standing issues. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Phoenix, AZ, progress often shows up in small wins first.

"Our goal is to help you solve some of your most painful life experiences."

Josh Adams

MODERN MEDICINE
CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic."   - Josh Adams
