Hands On Care is the real deal! If you’re willing to listen and work hard, they will make unbelievable changes in your ailment.
My story…. I crashed my Mountain Bike riding in Lake Tahoe in July 2017. I broke the ulna and radius in both arms, broke one thumb, damaged my brachial plexus, broke my T9 vertebrae and had a head injury. I spent nearly 3 weeks at a Reno Hospital for surgery, recovery and in-patient rehab. A Lake Tahoe therapist and a Reno therapist both recommended Hands On Care for continued therapy when I got home to San Jose in August.
The therapist 1) pointed out a dangerous infection in my right arm during my first visit 2) connected me with a surgeon @ Stanford to immediately remove the infection and install titanium plates 3) Got me from a state of upper body immobility (someone had to feed me and wipe my Butt) to 85% mobility playing guitar with two bands/working/driving and carrying my 2 year old and 4 year old kids again. I’m squeezing out the last 15% now through weekly visits to HandsOnCare and stretches/exercises at my gym.
I would highly recommend Hands on Care, they made a major change in my life and got me out of what was quite literally a mid-life crisis.
Hands On Care comes highly recommended in my book.
My first encounter with HOC was back in May 2009. I had broken my 5th metacarpal, and after the cast came off, my doctor recommended Hands On Care for therapy to get my hand functioning again. The therapist and her staff were pleasent to work with which made for a speedy recovery.
In August 2017 I had a very traumatic horse accident, fracturing and dislocating both my left wrist and shoulder. This resulted in surgery with plates and pins to hold things in place during the healing process. I contacted HOC to begin therapy. When I walked in to the office, the staff were very nice and attentive. I’m eight months into a very long and slow recovery, and have gone from having very little function and limited motion in my left shoulder and wrist, to having full function of my wrist and 75% function in my shoulder. Still working with my doctor on my shoulder injury with on going therapy at HOC. As my doctor has indicated, my injury will take time to heal (Year +) and to be patient. Knowing this I’m grateful to have HOC to be the ones to help me though my recovery. They are fun to be around, and are always trying to make thier patients experience a pleasant one. Look forward in continued therapy and fun times at HOC. BIG THANKS to all you’ve done for me and my recovery.
