Occupational Therapy

At Good Health Physical Therapy & Wellness, we believe in a holistic approach to rehabilitation. We’re committed to providing comprehensive care tailored to your needs, so we are thrilled to announce that we now offer occupational therapy (OT) as part of our services. By integrating occupational therapy into our practice, we can address a wider range of needs and better support your healing.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a vital health profession focused on helping individuals regain independence in their everyday life activities, or “occupations”. This includes any meaningful activity that a person wants to accomplish, including caring for yourself or your family, managing house chores, working, going to school, sleeping, and participating in hobbies, among many others. Occupational therapists assess and treat a range of physical, emotional, cognitive, and social challenges to improve your overall quality of life.

Key components of occupational therapy include:

• Functional Assessments: Evaluating how injuries or conditions impact your daily tasks.
• Personalized Treatment Plans: Creating strategies tailored to your condition, environment, and values & interests to help you regain or enhance your abilities.
• Adaptive Techniques: Teaching skills or utilizing assistive devices to facilitate daily activities.
• Holistic Approach: Addressing physical, emotional, cognitive, and social aspects of health to foster overall well-being.
