Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy is performed by a licensed professional working in diverse settings with patients of all ages. It involves maximizing an individual's independence with everyday activities including self-care, home making and work. This enhances a patient's quality of life through the use of teaching, hands-on therapies, adaptive equipment training, use of modalities, and directed therapeutic tasks.
