OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Services / Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy sessions

Are designed to assist in the recovery of optimal function after an acute or chronic condition or injury. Interventions are developed to meet individual needs and to address any dysfunctional compensations that were developed from the condition. Patients are guided and educated on their condition, prognosis and prevention of future re-injuries. That information is integrated into a comprehensive recovery program so at the time of discharge, our patients leave feeling knowledgeable, stronger and healthier long-term.
