In order to help you be as independent as possible, we want to make sure you are able to perform activities of daily living. Those are things such as personal grooming, bathing, dressing and preparing meals. If you’re having difficulty with any of your activities of daily living, or if you’re having problems with your neck, shoulders, arms or hands, you might benefit from occupational therapy.
Occupational therapists evaluate your ability to perform activities of daily living, determine what is keeping you from being independent, and develop programs that help restore function. The evaluation includes identifying hindrances such as loss of muscle strength, decreased coordination, increased pain or the inability to bend or reach without losing balance. Our OT’s then develop a program to address these issues to help you get better and, when necessary, adapt to the environment.
Patients who have had a stroke or heart trouble, orthopedic surgery, arthritis or trouble breathing because of COPD may all benefit from occupational therapy.
