Hands, wrists and elbows.

Rochelle Masudal has a passion for helping people regain mobility, strength and function in these body parts.

“I love this specialty area of OT because I am very results-oriented,” explains Masudal. “I appreciate how quickly my patients and I can see continuous gains in these parts of the upper extremities with hard work and consistency. I love helping them get back to doing what they need to do on a daily basis.”

More than 4,000 hours in hand therapy.

Masudal earned her master’s degree in occupational therapy from Colorado State University and has primarily worked in outpatient rehabilitation. She joined the WakeMed Outpatient Rehab team in August. Masudal is dedicated to specializing in hand therapy in particular, and, having completed more than 4,000 hours in hand therapy, she is preparing to obtain her Certified Hand Therapist credential.

Masudal works one-on-one with patients of all ages, helping them rehab after wrist and elbow
fractures, sprained fingers, joint (thumb) replacement surgery, and repetitive motion injuries
from work or play. She also treats conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow,
trigger finger, de Quervain’s, arthritis and general distal upper extremity pain.

“My aim is to provide individualized treatment plans that help patients achieve optimal function as well as their own rehab goals,” says Masudal.
