Calm the Nervous System

Stop the overactive signals driving your tightness before anything else. 

Position & Activate

Place your hand correctly and wake up the muscles responsible for opening.

Integrate Real Movement

Practice reaching while maintaining an open hand so recovery connects to daily life.

About the Course

You stretch it open. An hour later it's a fist again. The Open Hand Protocol addresses the nervous system root cause — not just the symptoms. 15 minutes a day. Clear progressions. No guessing what to do next.

About the Creator

I'm Evan Dunlap, OTR/L — a Neuro-Certified Occupational Therapist who has worked directly inside stroke survivors' homes after discharge. I've seen what happens when therapy ends and survivors are sent home with no real plan. The Open Hand Protocol is built from what I've seen actually work with real people in real recovery.

Built From Real Home Health Experience

I've sat in the living rooms of stroke survivors just like you — months after discharge, frustrated, with no clear plan. The Open Hand Protocol is built from what I've seen actually work in those homes. Not textbook theory. Real techniques, with real survivors, producing real results.

Your Hand Still Has the Ability to Recover

Neuroplasticity doesn't have an expiration date. Survivors make meaningful gains months — even years — after their stroke with the right daily system.
