Hoang Tran

Founder, Hands-on Therapy Services & Hand Therapy Secrets

With over 25 years of experience as an occupational therapist, Hoang Tran is passionate about empowering therapists to excel in hand therapy and achieve their dreams of becoming Certified Hand Therapists (CHTs).

Based in Miami, FL, Hoang is the owner of Hands-on Therapy Services, a private practice specializing in hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder rehabilitation. After navigating the steep learning curve of breaking into hand therapy herself—transitioning from various settings like acute care, skilled nursing, and home health—she became a CHT and opened her practice in 2014.

Recognizing the lack of structured training available for aspiring hand therapists, Hoang founded Hand Therapy Secrets, a platform designed to bridge the gap for occupational and physical therapists eager to specialize in this field. Through online courses, live workshops, and mentorship, she equips therapists with the clinical skills, confidence, and critical thinking they need to provide exceptional care for patients with hand and arm injuries.

Hoang’s new practice question book for the CHT exam reflects her commitment to helping therapists succeed. She understands the challenges of balancing work, study, and personal life while preparing for the certification, and her structured approach simplifies the process.

Hoang firmly believes that anyone can become a great hand therapist. It’s not just about mastering techniques—it’s about problem-solving, decision-making, and embracing the role of an expert. With this book, she’s ready to support you on your journey to earning your CHT and advancing your career.
