Margo Jones Brady, PT, DPT, CHT founder of Hand & Orthopedic Physical Therapy Specialists graduated with a degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Utah in 1977. Upon graduation Margo had the unique opportunity to treat post-surgical patients referred by John Ream, MD, a pioneer in hand microsurgery in the Salt Lake valley.
Dr. Ream expressed to Margo a need to have physical therapists specialize in the treatment of hand and upper extremity injuries, a treatment philosophy vastly different from general orthopedics at the time. As a result, Margo opened Hand & Upper Extremity Rehab Specialists in July of 1978, pioneering the specialty of hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder therapy.

I highly recommend this center. Please find the detailed reasons below:
A few months ago, I have had two major problems:
1- My foot was numbles and I have had back pain. Dr. Dave Moss determined the problem, made the treatment plan and continuously monitored my situation. Now, I feel much better, back pain disappeared completely and my numbles decreased substantially.
I have had this problem for several years, and I have tried several different ways before.
2- My tennis elbow: I started to learn the tennis a few months ago, and after a while I have had elbow pain after each tennis game. Dr

Dave is great! He knows what he’s doing and the exercises he had me do for my hip really helped. The rest of the staff is also very knowledgeable and very friendly. I had a good time because not only was I working hard and improving my hip, but I also felt like I was with a group of friends while doing it. Thank you everyone!

Dr. Moss and his team helped me tremendously with my recovery from meniscus repair surgery. When I began with Dr. Moss I had to re-learn to walk and when I graduated his program I was mountain biking, hiking, and snowboarding again. He is very knowledgeable and friendly, and he worked closely with me through every phase of my recovery, so I couldn’t be more grateful for his help.

Dave and his team at Hand and Orthopedic are incredible, truly changed my life. I came to Dave with a longstanding issue with my knee from surgery 3 years ago. I'd seen several other Physical Therapists, and sought other treatment paths and I was pretty hopeless about my recovery at that point. Dave came up with a new treatment plan that we started right away. He gave me hope, and I immediately started to see results. Dave also laid out all my options & empowered me to seek a consultation on a second surgery (something I was reluctant to do). But I knew I was in good hands for my recovery. I'm

Dave was fantastic. Has a mix of old and new treatments that he hand selects for each patient. This location has 2 patients at a time and the therapist will evaluate you everyday to make sure you are being pushed just the correct amount. Love going to therapy here. After 4 knee surgeries and previously having therapy in all major cities on the west coast. Hand and Orthopedic was by far my favorite place for physical therapy. Thanks!

I had a great experience at hand & orthopedic and would recommend this place to everyone. . Bibianna took such care of my injury. She tried a new therapy that brought down my extreme swelling. I want to thank her and her team for helping me heal not just physically but emotionally too. THANKS therapy was a blast 💜

I am so pleased with the results by Dave Moss & his exceptional staff in treating my hurt shoulder. The plan put in place made all the difference & I am no longer in constant pain. I was always greeted with a smile and a friendly hello—which really made a difference for me in feeling comfortable & welcomed. I appreciated their knowledge & helpful approach to understanding my injury & working on making it better. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Hand & Orthopedic in Salt Lake City!
