Our Approach

We believe in a holistic, 360° approach to hand therapy, focusing on more than just symptoms. Our mission is to enhance your overall wellbeing by deeply understanding and improving your work and personal environments. This is best accomplished by skipping the clinic and going right to your natural environment so we can focus on function from the beginning, incorporating your environment into the session.

​

Our Story

We were treating in a busy clinic, seeing multiple patients per hour.  We were attempting to mimic patients' home and work setups when we had our "ah hah moment". Why not skip the mimicking and go right to the natural environment?   Enter Avacare. Concierge one-on-one Hand to Shoulder therapy in your real life environment, tailored to your individual needs.
