OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Outpatient Rehabilitation:

Occupational Therapy caters to your individual needs by addressing muscle, nerve, tendon, joint, lymph, and vascular involvement, with orthopedic and neurological diagnoses.

Your shoulder, elbow, wrist or hand injury is our priority. We, the occupational therapists at Monadnock Community Hospital Rehabilitation, specialize in the upper extremity, offering a Certified Hand Therapist and an International Lymphedema Management Specialist. We look forward to working with you.
