What We Do

Restoring the Arm That Connects You to Life

The upper extremity — from fingertip to shoulder — performs hundreds of daily tasks. When injury or surgery disrupts this chain, every aspect of life is affected. Our specialized upper limb therapists restore strength, dexterity, and pain-free function.

Fine Motor & Grip Rehabilitation

Targeted dexterity training, grip strengthening, and pinch restoration for functional use of the hand in daily activities.

Edema & Scar Management

Manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, and scar mobilization to optimize healing and restore tissue mobility.

Splinting & Orthotics

Custom splint fabrication and orthotic recommendation to protect healing structures and maintain optimal joint positioning.

Patient Outcome
"After my hand surgery I couldn't button a shirt or type. The hand therapy team at Roa Rehab gave me back my independence — and my career."
— David T., Flexor Tendon Repair Patient
