Occupational Therapy

An Occupational Therapist conducts evaluations and treatment for activities of daily living (ADL), upper extremity disorders, and hand sensation/function.

An Occupational Therapist strives to enable patients to achieve the highest level of independence and function with everyday activities (i.e. eating, dressing, and bathing). We will also provide a progressive individualized program of range of motion, strengthening, coordination exercises, splinting, and modalities.
