OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Our comprehensive occupational
therapy services will help to maximize the individual level of  safety and independence while increasing strength, endurance, and preventing deformity. Our occupational therapists consider physical, psychological, and social factors than
can influence illness and disability.
Our
occupational therapists care for patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors, who have health-related conditions or other medical problems that may limit their ability to perform
activities in their daily lives or limit their independence. By carefully assessing your unique condition, we are able to
create an effective course of therapy as individual as you.
Occupational therapists get patients back to work, but they also customize treatment programs to
help with the “everyday things” like learning to bathe, dress or feed after a stroke or rehabilitating your shoulder
after a rotator cuff surgery.
Testing strength, range of motion, balance, coordination, manual dexterity,
muscle tone, and sensation help the therapist to determine an individualized treatment program.
 Our therapists keep your physician
informed of the most up to date information concerning your progress in therapy. We work closely with a team of physicians
and specialists in the community to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.
