The human hand is considered one of the most remarkable creations of nature. It is said that no other part of our bodies, other than the cerebral cortex, so dramatically identifies us as human.
The hands are what we use to interact with the world around us. We reach out to grab what we want and throw up a wall to stop what we don’t. This marvel of engineering, a source of exquisite sensory pleasure, fluidly adapts to allow us to express through touch either strength or sensitivity; violence or love.

I was immediately impressed by this woman’s persistence, positive attitude and compliance with the “homework” she had been assigned to treat her stubborn case. After reviewing what she had been faithfully doing on her own, I set out to see what my hands would discover.
