Occupational Therapy deals with restoring patients to activities/occupations of choice, including activities of daily living (e.g., dressing, getting out of bed, grooming, etc.) and incidental activities of daily living (e.g., shopping, cooking, writing, etc.). OT seeks to restore or maximize independence in activities of choice, including hand therapy, fine motor skills, tendon repair, and burns.

At Active OT, we treat a variety of orthopedic, neurological, and neuromuscular conditions and provide education and strategies that permit you to participate in activities of daily living while healing. Active OT’s staff specialize in task analysis, training, and compensatory strategies and bring more than 10 years of experience.

Occupational therapists work with clients who have a wide range of physical and mental health needs. Some examples include stroke patients, people with developmental disabilities, those who have experienced brain trauma, those who are recovering from surgery or other medical procedures, those who are recovering from chronic pain or other injuries, veterans returning from war, and more.

It is important to note that occupational therapists do not treat mental or physical illness. Instead, they focus on improving the quality of life for their patients by helping them develop new skills that will enable them to achieve their goals.
