We are committed to giving our patients the latest most up to date methods of therapy, and the personal one on one touch people need the most.”

I just had shoulder surgery... Now where do I go for therapy?
I fell off my bike... Now that my doctor said it’s time for hand therapy, where do I go?
A Certified hand therapist is THE expert for any Orthopedic Rehab, from shoulder to hand. Here’s what our patients say about Achieve Rehab: “I had a rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder. I was afraid I’d never use my arm again. I am so pleased that I have the full rotation of my right arm. I would fully recommend David’s professional expertise to anyone.” -BL “I caught my hand in an auger. After surgery, I went to Achieve Rehab. Through weeks of hand therapy, I could brush my teeth again! We are very lucky in our area to have such a hand expert. I am grateful that he always encouraged me.” -MT
