Stacy Rumfelt is an occupational therapist at OrthoCarolina Hand Therapy Center and Gastonia Physical & Hand Therapy. Schedule your appointment today.

As an occupational therapist and certified hand therapist at OrthoCarolina, Stacy has had the opportunity to grow in both leadership and clinical positions.  She currently serves as the Occupational/Hand Therapy Fellowship Coordinator and is a team member of both the Amputee and Brachial Plexus Specialty Clinics. She loves to be active both indoors and out and enjoys all things fitness: running, hiking, biking, strength training & yoga.

FUN FACT: She entered her first competitive sports event at age 11 and won a 10- speed bike for my efforts; riding the most miles and raising the most funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Bike a Thon.  This started a lifelong quest for health and fitness.

Explore the significance of hand therapy in treating adult hand fractures through the expertise of Stacy Rumfelt, Teresa Mintz, and Ashley Brooks. Their chapter in "Pediatric Adult and Hand Fractures" highlights the physical, emotional, and financial impact.

In this article, we will discuss the benefits of yoga and stretching for mental health, alongside our friends at Melting Point Hot Yoga and provide simple movements that you can do at home. We hope you'll join us in taking control of your mental health this month!
