Our occupational therapists work with people of all ages and at any stage in life. Occupational therapy itself primarily focuses on helping you with daily activities. If you have recently had an accident, injury, or are suffering from an illness, there are many ways that an occupational therapist or OT can help.

An occupational therapist treats the body as a whole when you are suffering from an illness or injury. The primary difference between occupational therapy vs physical therapy is that not only do occupational therapists assist you with relearning or modifying daily activities, but they can also help you with cognitive disabilities, motor development, along with emotions and behavior.

What can occupational therapy exercises and services help you with?

• They can educate you on how to avoid injuries
• They can help you to relearn daily activities
• Educate you on your individual healing process
• Teach you how to tweak/modify daily activities
