NUTRITION & EXERCISE
Proper nutrition and exercise; approved by your physician, can be vital factors in hand and upper extremity injury prevention.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Occupational therapy, ‘OT’, is similar to physical therapy by definition, but different in concept. Both types of rehabilitation help people regain the skills and movement necessary for functioning independently, but the majority of occupational therapists treat hand-and upper-extremity injuries. This therapy can be a vital tool for you to prevent injuries to the hand and upper extremity.
