What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is a complete whole-body approach to rehabilitation that uses bio-physical means to improve your ability to do every activity required to live an independent, happy, and hopeful life despite your diagnosis, injury, ailment, altered abilities, and/or illness.
Why choose occupational therapy for your rehabilitation?
BIO-PHYSICAL EXPERTS
Occupational therapy practitioners are trained in applied neurological science, physical orthopedic and soft tissue injuries of the whole body, alternative pain management techniques, medical conditions, cardiovascular system and other major systems of the body, and mobility of the upper and lower body.
By using massage and stretching techniques, assessment of muscle imbalance, neuromuscular communication, exercise and activity, as well as use of general modalities, occupational therapy practitioners offer a treatment plan that addresses everything you need.
WHOLE-PERSON APPROACH
Based on research and best practices, occupational therapy practitioners understand the most efficient means of rehabilitation that yields the most lasting results are relevant and collaborative treatment plans as well as the ability to address the entire person. In one plan of care, we address biological and physical symptoms, psychological and social elements, functional implications (what meaningful activities are being affected), and the environmental spaces of each patient.
HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL
Occupation means meaningful activity. A meaningful activity can be any activity in your life that you deem meaningful – sleeping, walking, climbing stairs, getting into and out of your house, driving, socializing with your friends without chronic pain, getting dressed, bathing, going to the bathroom, living in your own home, managing your own medications, getting up and down from your favorite chair, the list goes on! A hybrid approach to occupational therapy addresses your problem area and ensures you can do what you find meaningful!
