Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps individuals overcome illness, injury or psychological problems in order to live independent, productive and satisfying lives.
Through work, self-care and recreational activities, occupational therapists help patients increase independent function and get back to daily activities such as dressing, toileting and bathing. Occupational therapists are skilled in making recommendations for adaptive equipment as patients prepare to return home. Therapists utilize a variety of treatment methods including education, practice of daily activities and strengthening exercises.
