Life can present with many challenges...

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY Can help:

Rotator Cuff Injury, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tennis Elbow, Wrist Fracture, and Degenerative Joint Disease of the Hand can mean a change in your quality of living.

A Stroke Survivor hopes to live independently again, faced with life with paralysis on his dominant side of his body.... How will he drive, work, or even brush his teeth?

Your hands have earned you a living for many years, along with allowing you to enjoy life through leisure activities, but now they are so painful you cannot write, type, or hold your golf club.

Your loved one has just been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and is having difficulty with fine motor control and upper body coordination that requires you to assist him with his bathing and grooming skills.

OT makes it possible for people facing such challenges to participate more fully at home, school, work, or play and return to a productive, modified independent life.

Stroke, Parkinsonism, & Traumatic Injuries can mean a lifetime of disability, but many survivors are able to return to active, satisfying lives.

Occupational therapists ease the transition from hospital to home by showing new ways to dress, eat, bathe, cook, do laundry, drive and work. Often they recommend special technology from simple devices like button hooks to sophisticated, computerized systems that make routine tasks simpler and give persons with disabilities back their independence.

OT can also help to adapt a persons home, school, or work environment to make it safer, to conserve energy, and to enhance independence and productivity.
