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 owner and head therapist Saba 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.
See attached me in the ICU. See the video below, my first show after 5 months. I’m the guy in Black in the middle.
Who would have thought I’d be happy to pay money in order to experience pain? I must be a masochist. All joking aside, I can highly recomend Hands On Care for your shoulder, elbow and hand therapy. Saba Kamal is an exceptionally talented therapist. After my nasty moutain bike accident, she had me back in the saddle again within a few short weeks. This was all the more remarkable considering I had virtually zero motion in my elbow and wrist three weeks ago. She’ll bend parts of your body into positions that will make a grown man cry… but thankfully she does know when to stop. Her little evil grins while telling you to “relax” always had me cracking up in laughter. When it comes to physio, she was the best of both worlds… approachable but firm.
The previous reviewer baked Saba a cake. Unfortunately, I have no baking skills, so she will just have to make do with my four star rating and this last little comment …
(I lied about the bike… I had the resistance set to level 8 – not level 4)
