Lander sits at the foot of the Wind River Range in central Wyoming — a climbing and outdoor-recreation mecca of 7,500 that also serves as the gateway to the Wind River Indian Reservation. OTs here treat a unique mix of patients: rock climbers with finger pulley injuries and hand fractures, ranchers recovering from livestock and machinery accidents, and children from the Fremont County school system and Wind River tribal schools referred for developmental delays. Therapy putty is a clinical staple across all these contexts — providing graded resistance for grip rehabilitation and fine-motor development.
How Lander OTs Use Therapy Putty
Lander is home to the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) and a world-class climbing community — which means OTs here see finger injuries at rates most clinics never encounter. Graded putty helps climbers rebuild the pinch and crimp strength needed to return to the rock after pulley tears or finger fractures. Ranchers with chronic hand injuries from fencing and equipment work use putty in sustained-grip protocols. Pediatric OTs serving both Lander-area schools and Wind River tribal programs embed putty in culturally responsive play-based sessions that build fine-motor skills.
