The problem
Hand recovery is hard to manage alone
Your hands are part of nearly everything you do. Recovery happens in the gaps between appointments — that's where people need better feedback, safer guidance, and a simple way to see whether things are improving.
The scale of the problem
Hand injuries are common, costly, and under-supported

Founder context
Built from a real access problem
HandTherapy.app started from a simple frustration: hand recovery is expensive, confusing, and difficult to measure when you are outside the clinic.
The founder experienced repeated hand injuries and could not afford consistent physical therapy. Without insurance, even basic care felt expensive. There was no simple patient-first way to know whether hand function was improving, whether stiffness was normal, or whether pain and weakness were trending in the wrong direction.
HandTherapy.app is being built around the patient's daily experience: what hurts, what changed, what to do today, when to stop, and how to share progress with care.
