I suffered a traumatic injury on my right hand that severed 10 tendons, 2 nerves and the ulnar artery. This happened last summer and within 48 hours, after a 13 hour surgery, the surgeon had requested that I immediately go to Hands On Care, which I did.

Upon entering the clinic, my therapist was very driven to start treating my wound which was all bandaged up from surgery. She very carefully removed all bandages, reapplied new wound care treatment to the stitches and prepared a custom brace for my hand to keep it immobile.

For the next few months I went to therapy 5 times a week then 4 and now 3 and can honestly say that I can move my wrist with full motion, my grip is strong and I can fully extend all fingers.

All this progress is not because I sat back and enjoyed the show but rather it’s a full commitment from both myself and my therapist. She is very demanding and knowledgeable and it’s what I need in a therapist.

If you’re looking for a cute and trendy place with a quiet and airy atmosphere- leave, this is not your place. But if you want to treat your injury and get better then this is your place.

I broke my left wrist so I had surgery and a plate was installed.

I had no practical use of my hand, it hurt constantly, and I was out of work for a year.

My doctor said I should get used to the fact that my hand would never be the same again. A life with constant pain? A life without playing the violin? It depressed the hell out of me.

But then I had the good fortune of going to Hands On Care.

After a long and demanding period of therapy, I now have the full use of my hand.  Once again I can play music. I can take a shower and button my shirt just as before and with no pain.

My case was a tough one and I strongly believe if I had gone to simply a good therapist instead of a great one, I’d still have no use of my hand, or limited use at best. But I have a great therapist. She’s probably the best in Northern California.

She is extraordinarily skilled and professional.

I’m convinced that because I went to her instead of somebody else, I can now use my hand again.
