Occupational Therapy Services Available in Massapequa

At East End Occupational Therapy, our Massapequa office provides specialized treatment for patients with injuries and conditions affecting the hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, and shoulders. Our therapists evaluate each patient’s symptoms, mobility, strength, and functional limitations to develop an individualized treatment program.

Hand Therapy

Hand therapy focuses on restoring movement, strength, and function following injuries or conditions affecting the hands, fingers, and wrists. Patients may experience pain, stiffness, weakness, numbness, or difficulty completing activities that require gripping or fine motor coordination.

Our hand therapy services may benefit patients recovering from fractures, tendon injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, arthritis, nerve injuries, and certain surgical procedures. Our therapists develop personalized treatment programs to help patients regain their ability to perform everyday tasks.

Upper Extremity Rehabilitation

Upper extremity rehabilitation focuses on injuries and conditions involving the shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand. These conditions can make activities such as lifting, reaching, carrying objects, and performing work-related tasks more challenging.

At East End Occupational Therapy, our upper extremity therapy programs may include therapeutic exercises, range-of-motion activities, strengthening techniques, and functional rehabilitation. Treatment is tailored to each patient’s condition and recovery goals.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques that may help address joint stiffness, discomfort, and restricted mobility. Depending on the patient’s injury, these techniques may include soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, and assisted stretching.

Our occupational therapists may incorporate manual therapy into an individualized rehabilitation plan to help patients improve movement and functional ability. Treatment recommendations are based on a thorough evaluation and the patient’s specific rehabilitation needs.

Custom Splinting

Some injuries require additional protection or support throughout the recovery process. Custom splinting involves creating an individually fitted orthosis designed to stabilize, position, or protect an injured area.

Splints may be recommended following fractures, tendon repairs, ligament injuries, or certain surgical procedures. Our custom splinting services are tailored to each patient’s needs and may help protect healing tissues while supporting functional rehabilitation.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Recovering from hand or upper extremity surgery often requires a structured rehabilitation program. Following procedures such as fracture fixation, tendon repair, or other upper extremity surgeries, patients may experience stiffness, swelling, weakness, or difficulty completing everyday tasks.

Our therapists work closely with referring physicians and surgeons to develop individualized post-operative rehabilitation programs. Treatment may include protected movement, strengthening when appropriate, scar management, custom splinting, and functional exercises based on the patient’s stage of recovery.
