Hanover is defined by Dartmouth College and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center — an Ivy League town of 12,000 in the Connecticut River Valley of New Hampshire's Upper Valley. DHMC is the region's level-1 trauma center and academic medical center, drawing patients from across northern New England. The economy is almost entirely driven by education and healthcare, with Dartmouth employing most of the town. OTs here practice in one of the most resource-rich environments in rural America: DHMC's rehabilitation department is staffed by fellowship-trained specialists, while the community's needs span sports injuries from Dartmouth's Division I athletics, skiing and winter-sport trauma, pediatric development through the Dresden School District, and the ergonomic demands of academic work. Therapy putty provides graded resistance across all these populations.
The Hanover Hand Therapy Landscape
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center operates one of northern New England's most comprehensive rehabilitation departments, with certified hand therapists, neurological OT, and pediatric development specialists. DHMC's academic-medicine model means practitioners engage in research and evidence-based practice at the highest level. Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine trains medical students and residents who rotate through rehabilitation services. The Upper Valley's outdoor culture — skiing at Dartmouth Skiway and Killington, hiking the AT, rock climbing, and Nordic racing — produces steady sports-medicine OT referrals. Private practices in the Lebanon-Hanover corridor serve pediatric and hand-therapy specialties.
How Hanover OTs Use Beast Putty
Beast Putty's silicone formula meets the Upper Valley's clinical and environmental demands. OTs at DHMC use progressive resistance levels for post-surgical grip strengthening after skiing injuries, climbing falls, and the repetitive-strain that afflicts academics (keyboard/mouse use, lab work). Pediatric therapists use it with children referred through the Dresden School District. The Upper Valley's severe winters (temperatures regularly hitting -20°F) destroy standard therapy putty left in patients' vehicles during the 5-month cold season. Beast Putty maintains consistent resistance for home exercise programs whether patients squeeze it in heated Dartmouth offices or frigid barn workshops. The academic community values evidence-based tools with published rehabilitation applications.
