The hand therapy program at St. Jude Medical Center offers comprehensive, high quality care to patients with hand and upper extremity conditions. Our highly trained therapists are experts in helping patients regain strength, range of motion and overall function in the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. 
After carefully evaluating a patient’s injury, our certified hand therapists will design a treatment program based on each individual’s specific needs.
