Orthopedics
The Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Program at Memorial Hermann|TIRR Rehabilitation Center involves evaluating and managing people with a broad range of soft tissue and joint conditions including dysfunctions involving the shoulder, hip, knee, ankle/foot and spine. Our comprehensive orthopaedic rehabilitation program is open to people with acute and chronic injuries, as well as muscle imbalance and overuse injuries. The program is aimed at correcting the dysfunctions, assisting with healing and restoring functional capabilities.
Therapists treat many post-surgical patients, as well as those who have suffered traumatic injuries. Aquatic therapy is available at several Memorial Hermann|TIRR Rehabilitation Centers to provide a gravity-reduced environment that supports injured joints, for example during shoulder rehabilitation or knee rehabilitation. This permits more comfortable movement early in the rehabilitation process and facilitates an earlier return to functional activities.

Hand and Upper Extremity Rehabilitation
Memorial Hermann|TIRR Rehabilitation Centers’ Hand Therapy Program specializes in rehabilitation of the hand, as well as the wrist, elbow and shoulder related to acute traumatic injuries, congenital problems and repetitive injuries (such as tennis elbow) that occur at home or work. Acute traumatic injuries include fractures, amputations and lacerations resulting in nerve or tendon injuries.
Our certified hand therapists work closely with Houston-area hand surgeons to develop advanced treatment methods to restore an individual’s functional use of the upper extremity. Program therapists are highly skilled in the area of fabricating splints. Splints help protect the individual during the natural healing process.
In addition to providing treatment, our hand therapists provide specialized training to all clinicians across the Memorial Hermann|TIRR network of facilities. The Hand Therapy Program provides ergonomic training, as well as education and therapy for chronic illnesses such as arthritis.
