Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy may benefit you if you:

• Struggle with dressing, grooming, or cooking after surgery or illness
• Are recovering from a stroke, TBI, or nerve injury
• Have chronic joint pain that limits daily movement
• Need help regaining hand strength or dexterity
• Are adapting to mobility aids or home modifications

Q1: What does an occupational therapist help with?
A1: Occupational therapists help patients restore the skills needed for everyday tasks like dressing, eating, and working after an injury, surgery, or illness.
