How we can help
Reaching, lifting and using your hands can become difficult after an injury or when pain limits movement. Upper extremity physical therapy focuses on how these concerns affect the tasks you need to do.
What your evaluation may address
- Reaching and overhead activity
- Lifting, carrying and gripping tasks
- Movement limitations after injury or surgery
- Your daily activities and recovery goals
What to expect
The evaluation considers your movement, symptoms and any restrictions from your healthcare team. A plan may include exercise, movement practice and other appropriate physical therapy approaches.
