Specialties

Before entering occupational therapy school, Kailey knew she wanted to treat patients with hand and upper extremities injuries. This was due to completing observation hours in Salt Lake City, UT at a hand therapy clinic with a phenomenal hand therapist. Now she enjoys working with patients of all ages to help patients decrease pain, increase functional use of their injured arm in daily tasks, and fabricate custom splints.
