Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy (O.T.) helps restore independence to people who have physical, cognitive and developmental disabilities. Occupational therapists take a holistic approach to therapy by treating the person, not just the disability.

• Activities of daily living training
• Assistive device training

• Splinting
• Range of motion
• Strengthening
• Pain Management
• Scar management
• Lymphedema treatment for swollen limbs caused by fluid retention
