REVIEWS:

“CTD is as good as it gets! My son received OT here, and PT through the sister agency. His therapists were dedicated, smart, creative and thoughtful in their approach to working with my child. The growth he made in terms of his sensory challenges, and his fine and gross motor planning, was remarkable. The office staff are top-notch. They advocated fervently for my son’s care, and were always available to answer questions and offer additional support. Marianne Rho, herself an OT and owner/manager of CTD has done an exemplary job of creating an agency that provides the best quality-care in the field. Bravo!” -Dayna Kurtz

Nick Roselli Occupational Therapy

Nick Roselli - Nick Roselli Occupational Therapy
Nick Roselli – Nick Roselli Occupational Therapy

Nick Roselli went into this field to help people overcome injury and dysfunction and get back to work and play without pain. He is fascinated by the intricacies of the complex human hand and upper extremity. He enjoys anatomy, splinting and instructing patients – from children to retirees – on how to help themselves get better.

Most people think hand therapists only work with hands. In reality, they focus on the entire upper extremity from the shoulder down the arm to the fingertips. They increase patients’ ability to function independently while recovering from an injured upper extremity.

He believes in the value of patient education and constant communication with patients and referring physicians. Being a good therapist means being able to think outside the box and be creative with treatments plans, splinting and bracing, ergonomic assessment and training. His main goal is to help each patient heal and return to their usual activities, including work, sports and hobbies.
