Why do I need an Occupational Therapist (O.T.)?

Most individuals acknowledge some level of pain or discomfort associated with completing an activity of daily life at home or in the work environment, whether related to injury or illness. An OT is able to accurately assess your environment and provide practical strategies for a positive change. This can involve body positioning/techniques, modifying a workstation or duty, educational workshops and other strategies that will make a difference!

What’s New
