Tymar Fields

Tymar is a pediatric occupational therapist and certified hand therapist. Professionally, she is inspired by new ideas and creative problem-solving and has a passion for learning. She began her occupational therapy career in 2008 at a nonprofit level 1 trauma hospital. In this role, she worked with children and adults in the inpatient and outpatient settings. Her specialty area was trauma and orthopedics. As her interest in pediatrics expanded, she began working with children with brachial plexus birth injuries.

Tymar became a certified hand therapist and dedicated herself to pediatrics in 2014. She is the lead therapist in the multidisciplinary brachial plexus clinic at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Tymar partnered with her colleague to create a motor-intensive program for children with brachial plexus birth injuries. She is the primary author of a current retrospective qualitative study describing the outcomes of modified constraint-induced movement therapy and bimanual motor intensives for children with brachial plexus birth injuries.

Additionally, Tymar specializes in orthosis fabrication for preterm and medically fragile infants, congenital limb differences, care of traumatic injuries, wound and burn care, and upper extremity orthopedics. She is a national and international presenter on a variety of pediatric hand therapy topics.
