When physical ailments and progressing age hinder the movements of your body, they can take a toll on your quality of life. But know that help is available in the form of occupational therapy (OT).

OT specialists empower people of all ages to live life to its richest by helping them live fuller despite an injury, infirmity or disability. OT helps youngsters with disabilities fully engage in school and social activities. It enables people who are recuperating from an injury to regain as many skills as possible. OT also lends support to senior citizens who are going through physical and cognitive transformations related to their age.
Occupational therapists look at OT from a holistic viewpoint, which hones in on adjusting environments and/or undertakings in ways that suit you. The therapist also emphasizes to you that you play an imperative role in your own treatment initiative.
Your OT starts with a meeting with one of our therapists. During that session, you receive a customized assessment of your situation and discuss your specific goals. We then draw up a meticulous and personalized healing plan whose goal is to expand your aptitudes when it comes to carrying out normal activities and reaching your aspirations.
It’s crucial for your therapist to find out from you everything he or she needs to know to make your therapy smooth and effective. It’s equally crucial that you ask your therapist questions to make sure you truly absorb the OT process. If you don’t understand any aspect of your treatment, don’t hesitate to ask.
