Physical Therapy for Hand Pain and Wrist Pain

At Iron PT, we will not use a “cookie cutter” treatment for your hand or wrist injury. Your highly trained Doctor of Physical Therapy will conduct a thorough one-on-one evaluation to understand your personal goals and uncover the cause and severity of your hand or wrist pain.

Then, they will create a customized treatment plan incorporating the very latest hands on techniques and exercises to build strength and give you full, pain-free range of motion.
