Occupational Therapy

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy strives to help people of all ages return to daily activities after injury, illness, or surgery. These activities may include dressing, bathing, home management skills, leisure activities, and skills related to your occupation which help you return to work.

Injury and illness can limit your ability to do work or enjoy activities. Our Occupational Therapist can help you regain function following injury, surgery or disease. At Patterson Physical Therapy, our therapists have advanced training and will work with you and your doctor to develop a rehabilitation program carefully tailored to your ability and needs.

Occupational Therapists are trained in teaching you coping skills and suggest ways to modify tasks so that you can be more independent. They can also help children with developmental disorders to gain needed life skills.
