Occupational Therapy
What Is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy helps individuals develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and independence. Therapists work with patients to improve their ability to perform everyday tasks, regain function after injury or illness, and adapt to physical or cognitive limitations — all within the comfort of their home.
Occupational therapy benefits patients of all ages who are experiencing difficulty with routine activities due to injury, illness, developmental delays, or aging. It is commonly recommended for individuals with:
– Stroke or neurological conditions
– Arthritis or joint replacements
– Cognitive impairments such as dementia
– Developmental disabilities
– Post-surgical recovery
– Difficulty with dressing, bathing, or grooming
