Jamie Hillesland, OTR/L has spent more than 25 years helping patients regain hand and arm function following simple fractures to complex traumatic injuries related to farming, ranching, industrial or motor vehicle accidents, to post surgical therapy for joint replacements, tendon repairs, and more. Ms Hillesland works closely with an individual, their hand surgeon and other medical providers from the region to design a treatment program that offers the greatest outcomes for recovery. In addition to regional providers she has worked with surgeons from Mayo Clinic, University of Minnesota and St Paul Ramsey burn unit. Hand injuries and loss of the ability to perform everyday life tasks can be very emotional and can have a negative impact on a person's self-esteem. Hand therapy becomes a very personal treatment which may offer an outlet for expressing these emotions in a private and nurturing environment. When needed, Ms Hillesland researches resources for her patients for the latest prosthetics, services for engineering adaptations such as Agribility Network or new evidence-based interventions. She fabricates customized splints, utilizes specialized evaluation methods and treatment focused on restoring the biomechanical balances within the hand that make it such an intricate therapy.
