Occupational Therapy
Get Back to Living Life to the Fullest
Rehabilitation programs are a common necessity for people who have recently
suffered a serious illness or injury. Once you have completed the acute
care phase of your treatment, you may find you still have difficulty performing
various activities. This is where occupational therapy comes in.
Different from physical therapy, occupational therapy is focused on helping
patients regain function so that they can perform specific tasks that
are essential to their day to day lives. If your condition has made it
difficult for you to return to work or perform daily household functions,
you occupational therapist will create a customized program designed to
help you overcome these obstacles.
