James Northcutt II, OTR, MOT, CHT

My name is James H. Northcutt II, OTR, MOT, CHT, and I have coordinated the brachial plexus clinic at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston for the past seven years. I started my career in adult upper extremity care in 2011 and transitioned to pediatrics at Shriners Hospital for Children - Houston in 2013. Along with coordinating the brachial plexus program, I staff the hand clinic weekly and the limb differences clinic monthly. I also guest lecture on brachial plexus birth injury and upper extremity anatomy for TWU’s DPT and OTD programs. My special interests include innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration with the Engineering and Design program at Rice University. I believe that families make the greatest impact on pediatric patients. Weekly therapy should not replace therapist-guided, parent-executed therapeutic interactions at home. Equipping parents to help their children is always a priority. I have been married to my "beautiful and better therapy half," Leah, a pediatric physical therapist, for almost eight years. We have two boys, Isaac (5) and Evan (3), and we are expecting another boy in December.
