Connor graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. He went on to complete his Master's of Occupational Therapy at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans.
He especially enjoys creating individualized treatment plans for his patients to improve hand function and support rehabilitation goals. He is skilled in custom splint fabrication, Dry Needling, and manual therapy techniques including Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Kinesiotaping techniques.
A Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) is a therapist who has a minimum of three years of clinical experience, including more than 4,000 hours in direct practice in upper extremity care. In addition, a CHT has successfully passed a comprehensive post-professional exam of advanced clinical skills and theory in upper extremity rehabilitation. Because of progression in the field, every CHT is required to demonstrate continued professional development and competency by recertifying every five years.
Connor works in the Hand therapy department as an Occupational Therapist and Certified Hand Therapist (CHT). He is located at our Birmingham clinic, and collaborates with orthopedic surgeons Dr. Christopher Beaumont and Dr. Kathleen McKeon, as well as many of our other surgical and non-surgical physicians who have injuries of the elbow, wrist, and hand.
