Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy is the assisted return of an individual to an

independent lifestyle following interruption due to a physical injury or

illness, developmental condition, the aging process or psychosocial issues.

A customized occupational therapy program is created by combining an

evaluation by the occupational therapist and the patient’s physician of

medical history, environment and personal goals. In order to achieve

maximum independence and minimized condition reoccurrence, support and

participation of family and friends are requested throughout rehabilitation.
