I'm Vitalija, and I understandyour wrist pain.
As a licensed occupational therapist with 8 years of experience, I’ve helped patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and other hand conditions recover function, reduce pain, and return to an active life through specialized exercise therapy.
Why I built CarpalCare:
"Too many of my patients couldn’t afford regular therapy sessions or lived hours away from specialized care. I created CarpalCare to give everyone access to the same professional rehabilitation protocols I use in my clinic- completely free."

Why Carpal Tunnel Recovery Became My Mission
A personal story that changed my entire approach to therapy
"Every patient teaches me something new about resilience and recovery. Their stories inspire me to make professional rehabilitation accessible to everyone."
— Vitalija, reflecting on 10 years of practice
Early in my career, my passion for health and human recovery was not something that began with work - it started in childhood. I was always fascinated by how the body could heal and restore itself naturally, without medications or chemicals. From an early age, I knew the direction I wanted to follow.
That path led me to occupational therapy, where I found a profession that perfectly aligned with my vision: restoring function, supporting healthy movement, and guiding people back to a fulfilling life. For the past eight years, I have dedicated myself to this field. Each year deepens my knowledge and expertise, but even more importantly, it strengthens my appreciation for the people I help - those who strive to move, feel, and live better every day.
Sarah wasn't unique. I kept meeting patients who needed help but faced barriers:
The Distance Problem
Rural patients driving 2+ hours for 15-minute sessions
The Cost Problem
$150-300 per session, often not covered by insurance
The Time Problem
Can't take time off work for daytime appointments
The Fear Problem
Afraid of doing exercises wrong without supervision
"That's when I realized: If I could put my exact clinical protocols into an app—with clear videos, proper form guidance, and progress tracking—I could help thousands of people like Sarah. For free."
CarpalCare isn't just another exercise app. It's me, sitting beside you, guiding you through the exact rehabilitation program I'd prescribe if you were in my clinic. Every exercise, every progression, every safety precaution—it's all there.
What This Means for Your Recovery
When you use CarpalCare, you're getting the same care as my clinic patients
Safe & Correct Form
Each exercise includes multiple camera angles and detailed cues—the same way I'd demonstrate in person. No guessing, no risk of making things worse.
Progressive Programming
Start gentle, build gradually. The app follows the exact progression timeline I use clinically, preventing re-injury from doing too much too soon.
Track Real Progress
Monitor pain reduction, strength gains, and mobility improvements—the same metrics I track in clinic to ensure you're recovering properly.
Important Medical Note
While CarpalCare provides professional-grade exercises, it's designed as an educational tool to support your recovery journey. Always consult with your doctor before starting any rehabilitation program, especially if you have severe symptoms or other health conditions. CarpalCare complements but doesn't replace in-person medical care when needed.
