Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy gets you back to your life

The goal of our occupational therapy team is to make a tangible, long-term difference in your daily life. We do this by facilitating greater participation in the day-to-day activities that you find essential or meaningful.

What is Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) helps you build healthy habits to change your overall health for the better

Occupational therapists are skilled in looking at your health holistically—and helping you explore evidence-based approaches to meet your goals

Say you have a stroke or injure your spinal cord. Suddenly, you have to re-learn how to get ready for the day (among many other things). Occupational therapists have learned from decades of experience and research the safest and most efficient way to help you do this. 

How can OT make a difference?

Occupation Therapy can help with:

  • Adaptive equipment and activities of daily living training
  • Work simplification
  • Strengthening/range of motion
  • Joint protection training
  • Energy conservation training
  • Pre-fabricated splint fitting and modification
  • Wound, scar, and edema management
  • Nerve desensitization
  • Body mechanics and ergonomic protection techniques
  • Custom upper extremity orthotic fabrication and pre-fabricated splint fitting
  • Low vision intervention
  • LSVT - an intensive, effective, one-on-one treatment created to help people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurological conditions

    • Get back to living your life

    Occupational therapy can give you freedom at home again

    OT can change your life

    Occupational therapist is a trained practitioner who uses therapeutic techniques to improve, rehabilitate, or maintain your ability to perform everyday activities.

    Occupational therapists work with you by taking a therapeutic approach to everyday activities. This means that your occupational therapists are responsible for helping you develop, recover and maintain the skills needed to execute daily activities.
