“The return of my range of motion... is without any doubt due to the expert care of my therapists.” “ The return of my range of motion and the short time frame in which it took place, after multiple extensive fractures of my shoulder, is without any doubt due to the expert care of my therapists at Hands for Living. My treatment was very individualized and carefully monitored. I asked countless questions and things were explained so well and always kindly. They listen. They’re experienced. I always felt safe and encouraged during this challenging time.” - K. H.
