Occupational Therapy
Building skills for daily life and independence
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy helps people of all ages participate in the activities they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday tasks. Whether you’re recovering from illness or injury, managing a chronic condition, or navigating physical or cognitive limitations, our occupational therapists work with you to regain function and independence.
While physical therapy focuses on gross motor function and mobility, occupational therapy centers around fine motor skills, cognitive abilities and meaningful activities — like self-care, work tasks, or recreational hobbies.
Common Injuries We Treat
- Neurologic diagnoses such as stroke, brain injury, or Parkinson’s
- Upper extremity injuries or orthopedic issues
- Hand and arm conditions, including fractures, sprains, arthritis
- Developmental or cognitive delays
