Whatever your physical and social changes may be, we are with you to ensure that you regain the necessary skills for an improved quality of life. Occupational therapy, unlike physical therapy, focuses on implementing regular day-to-day tasks as treatment approaches for a better chance at a fulfilling life, now and in the future.
What Is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy addresses the cognitive, physical, or sensory issues of an individual. It uses assessment and intervention to help improve, restore, or maintain the occupations or activities that are important to people. It also helps eliminate the issues affecting their physical, social, and emotional aspects.

Occupational therapists are licensed professionals who have acquired their master’s degree. They work together with your physician, doctor, and physical therapist to arrange your therapy plan.
Their goal is to help individuals retain or improve their skills to overcome their issues and complete their daily activities, such as:
