Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists use a wide variety of strategies and tools to assist people in regaining, developing, and building skills essential for independent living and optimal health and well-being. Occupational therapists help individuals overcome physical impairment, functional limitations, disability, and handicaps in their daily activities such as dressing, bathing, feeding, hygiene, work, and leisure. OT's can provide adaptive equipment to increase independence. They can evaluate and modify your work area and make recommendations to decrease the risk of injury.

Occupational Therapists commonly treat some of the following conditions:

  • Neurological (strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries).
  • Orthopedic conditions.
  • Burns.
  • Amputations.
  • Cardiopulmonary diseases.
  • Degenerative diseases (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, ALS).

  • Training in the performance of daily life skills through adapted methods and equipment.
