Occupational Therapy

About Occupational Therapy

Getting back to work, maintaining personal hygiene, hobbies, cooking, cleaning and even sleep. These are things that may all seem like second nature, but if you have suffered loss of function due to an injury or illness these everyday tasks can seem daunting. That’s where our licensed occupational therapists step in. Occupational therapy enables you to do the things you want or need to do on a daily basis, no matter your level of function.

Our Approach to Inpatient Treatment

Occupational therapy is essential to inpatient rehabilitation. You'll meet daily with your occupational therapist to work on adapting to your surroundings, modifying how you perform tasks, and providing education to you and your family.

Our team of therapists evaluate and treat functional impairments with interventions that focus on adapting the environment, modifying the task, teaching the skill, and educating the client/family order to increase participation in and performance of daily activities. We work with you, your family and other team members to create a rehabilitation program specific to your needs and goals.
