What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a targeted form of rehabilitation focused on helping patients perform the daily activities that matter most to them, from eating, dressing, and bathing to completing household tasks or returning to work and school. Unlike broader physical rehabilitation, occupational therapy addresses specific functional goals and helps patients rebuild the skills and strategies they need for everyday independence. Sessions typically run 20 to 60 minutes and are customized to each patient's individual goals and progress.

What is Occupational Therapy

When is Occupational Therapy Recommended?

Occupational therapy is often recommended for patients who experience difficulty with daily activities due to injury, illness, surgery, or age-related changes. It is appropriate for injured adults recovering from orthopedic conditions or work and auto accidents, as well as older adults managing functional decline related to arthritis, neurological conditions, or other health concerns. OT may be used alongside other treatments or as a stand-alone service.
