What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy (OT) is a specialized form of rehabilitation that helps individuals of all ages develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and work. Our goal is to help patients perform essential daily tasks with ease—whether it's getting dressed, cooking a meal, or returning to their job. We use a combination of hands-on therapy, adaptive techniques, and assistive devices to enable people to live more independently and comfortably.
Conditions Treated with Occupational Therapy
Our Occupational Therapy services treat a wide range of conditions, including:
-
Arthritis and joint-related pain
-
Neurological conditions (stroke, MS, Parkinson’s)
-
Post-surgical recovery (hand, shoulder, hip surgeries)
-
Musculoskeletal disorders (including back, neck, and joint pain)
-
Injury recovery (from trauma, accidents, or repetitive motion)
-
Developmental disorders (e.g., sensory processing disorders in children)

Patient Education: Education is a key component of therapy, empowering patients to take charge of their recovery and future health.
