I shattered my pinky finger last year and had surgery to put in a plate and screws. My surgeon at Stanford recommended HOC, and I’m happy he did. I felt silly going to physical therapy for a pinky (I mean, “it’s just a pinky”, right?) but little did I know how important that little sucker is. But you are expected to know the drill as a patient and go through your exercises while you wait to have manual therapy. I appreciate the no-nonsense attitude of HOC therapists. I’m not a patient to be coddled, but to get out of there as fast as possible and back to regular life again.

If you have hand, arm, shoulder issues, I highly recommend Hands On Care.

I began going to HOC for carpal tunnel-like issues – pain that had extended to my thumb, wrist, forearm and shoulder. I spend a lot of time on the computer and doing intensive work with my hands, and was scared I needed surgery. My therapist gave me practical, helpful advice for setting up my work station properly, and adjusting my daily routines so that I will do less damage to my body long-term. She worked diligently on my arms & hands during the weeks I saw her for intensive therapy, and put me on an upper-body strengthening regimen that has changed how I view exercise and taking care of my body. She is professional, kind, and made therapy fun. She has a wonderful staff assisting her. I was thrilled to improve, but sad to leave this vibrant office.
