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.
Years later, the same problem still felt unsolved. Many tools looked like clinic software, generic video libraries, or disconnected exercise content. 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.
This is founder context, not social proof. We will not invent patient quotes, therapist endorsements, press logos, ratings, or fabricated traction.
Objectives
What we are trying to make true
- Make hand therapy accessible and not restricted by health limitations.
- Empower people to understand and clearly track performance improvements.
- Prevent hand health from deteriorating.
- Upskill more hand therapists.
- Enable hand therapists to support more patients.
- Reduce drop-offs during recovery and maximize full recovery.
- Improve hand therapy by making it more cost-effective and supporting experimentation.
Hand-heavy jobs we design around
Desk, trades, retail, clinical, and kitchen loads shape flare logic and education defaults — not job clearance.
