I shattered my pinky finger last year and had surgery to put in a plate and screws. My surgeon at Stanford recommended HOC, and I’m happy he did. I felt silly going to physical therapy for a pinky (I mean, “it’s just a pinky”, right?) but little did I know how important that little sucker is. But you are expected to know the drill as a patient and go through your exercises while you wait to have manual therapy. I appreciate the no-nonsense attitude of HOC therapists. I’m not a patient to be coddled, but to get out of there as fast as possible and back to regular life again.

If you have hand, arm, shoulder issues, I highly recommend Hands On Care.

I’ve been to several hand therapists over the years and HOC is the best.  I’ve had to go many times due to my severe arthritis, which causes painful flares.  I’ve seen her for flares in both hands involving my thumbs and fingers as well as my elbows and shoulders.

The last flare I had was in my elbow and I stupidly went to a therapist close to my house because I could hardly drive, instead of going to HOC.  They actually made me worse!  When I saw my therapist my elbow was so bad my arm was completely immobile and I was in great pain.  My therapist was amazing; in just one visit she greatly restored my range of motion and reduced my pain!

It’s always fun to go in there too.  Everyone is laughing and it’s a really fun atmosphere.  I always miss the therapists and the staff when I’ve stopped going.
