Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapist is a health professional who strives to improve functional independence of the physically impaired patient through purposeful therapeutic activity, exercise, and self-care retraining. The occupational therapy staff evaluates the musculoskeletal and neurological systems, including cognitive and perceptual skills, with a special emphasis on the impact of any deficits upon daily performance demands such as self-care, homemaking, and work practices.
