Get Your Hands Back to Doing What You Love
Non-surgical, one-on-one hand therapy for pain, stiffness, weakness, and injury — led by a board-certified hand therapist who builds every plan around your hands, not a generic routine.

When Your Hands Slow You Down
Gripping a coffee mug. Typing through a workday. Buttoning a shirt. Picking up a grandchild. These are the things hand pain takes first — quietly, one small task at a time. Whether it started with an injury, a surgery, or shows up as stiffness that won’t go away, hand problems have a way of taking over daily life.
At Modern Sports Medicine, hand therapy starts with understanding exactly what’s going on in your hand — not a one-size-fits-all exercise sheet. Every plan is built around your diagnosis, your goals, and how you actually use your hands day to day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does hand therapy treat?
We treat hand and finger arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and trigger finger, post-fracture and post-surgical recovery, sports and repetitive strain injuries, nerve injuries, and grip or fine-motor loss.
Do I need a physician referral to start?
In most cases, no referral is required to schedule an evaluation. If your insurance requires one, our team will help you sort that out before your first visit.
How is hand therapy different from general physical therapy?
Hand therapy is a specialized branch of rehabilitation focused entirely on the hand, wrist, and upper extremity. Megan is a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT), a credential that requires advanced, hand-specific clinical training beyond general PT or OT.
What happens during a typical session?
Sessions may include manual (hands-on) therapy, custom splinting, therapeutic exercise, and functional activities designed to rebuild grip, motion, and coordination for your specific diagnosis.
How long until I notice results?
It varies by condition and how long you’ve been dealing with it. Some patients notice less stiffness after a few visits; others build progress over several weeks. We track progress together at every visit.
Is hand therapy covered by insurance or Medicare?
Most major insurance plans and Medicare cover hand therapy when medically necessary. Our team can help verify your specific benefits before you begin.
