Lori, I'm rather new to the list, but I haven't heard anyone putting down the use of modalities to this point. In fact, I often utilize modalities in practice. They are fine as long as one understands they are a means to allow enhanced participation in other parts of treatment. By that I mean that modalities cannot be considered a sole treatment and the modalities themselves do not often provide patient goal attainment without participation in more traditional OT.

But there are OTs that are hand therapists and they certainly have the training, knowledge, ability to treat those clients. It is allowed in our Practice act. A lot of the modalities I hear you all putting down are things OTs are trained and and are licensed to do(heat packs, ultrasound, estim, biofeedback).
