I went to CMI Montreal because they advertised having the only certified hand therapists in Quebec.
I'm an artist and I was having hand pain pretty specific to of work
They gave me an occupational therapist who was not certified for hand therapy, but had some experience in hand therapy. He made an orthosis specifically for my hand after suggesting I had one problem.
The orthosis cut my hand, it had sharp edges. It was a device which prevented me from painting.
I complained about the forfeit, he said it could be adjusted, but it was normal to cause pain.
It cost over $200.
I was concerned so I went to an orthopaedic surgeon. He diagnosed me as having something not suggested by the Physio.
Hesuggested a different orthosis available through Amazon for about $30 that would allow me to paint.
I'm two stars instead of one because I cared and did could. I didn't higher because what he could do wasn't very much. read more
