THE PRACTICE
Our History ​
​
Berks Hand Therapy Center has been providing quality treatment to people of Berks and surrounding counties for over 30 years. Mark Dreibelbis founded the company in 1987. Hand therapy provides interventions to help people engage in meaningful activities, from holding their dog to playing the piano. In addition to hand therapy, services are available for post-operative breast cancer patients to regain function. Berks Hand Therapy Center also provides work conditioning programs, which allow patients to safely return to work.
On October 14th 2024, Berks Hand Therapy merged with Philo Physical Therapy under the management of Thomas Crassas. We are looking forward to expanding our business to collaborate with other therapists! Thank you Mark Dreibelbis for years of your expertise and compassionate care for your patients!
