Introduction to Hand

Physical Therapy in Merrick and Amityville for Hand

Welcome to Summit Physical Therapy's patient resource about hand problems.

Hand AnatomyCan you imagine not being able to use your hands?  Can you imagine suffering an injury that leaves you with a decreased ability to take care of yourself and perform everyday tasks?  This is the position you will be left in if you don't take care of your hands.  When you injure one or both of your hands, you not only will be left out of your favorite sport, you will be left out of life.

No one wants to depend on others for help in completing simple tasks like cooking food, driving a car, or opening a door.  Therefore, this area of our site is designed to help you learn about and prevent a hand injury.

Whether you are an active athlete or like to sit on the sidelines, we want to make sure you stay safe and healthy and keep your hands protected from debilitating injuries that will bench the fun in your life.

“ On Dec. 2, 2021 I fractured my left wrist and after 5 weeks in a cast or brace my wrist was not very flexible. PT was ordered by the Orthopedic Doctor. Summit PT was my choice. The doctor also had words of praise for Summit PT. My wife and I have been long time patients over the years. We have always been happy with the care that we received From Graham Webb and staff. They are always cheery and helpful. My wrist is just about back to where it was pre-accident. When a friend or relative needs PT we will always recommend Summit Pt. ”

“ I have been going to Summit Physical Therapy on and off for 10 years. I wouldn't think about going anywhere else, even with the many other PT offices in the area. All three of the therapists are great. I've seen them all, but you get to decide who you would like to see. His staff is equally great. I'm a Dentist and they treat all the patients as I treated my patients in my practice ”
