Comprehensive Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy (OT) can help people of all ages re-develop daily living skills and regain their independence after an illness or injury.
Munson Healthcare occupational therapists believe that a medical condition, physical impairment, or developmental disorder should never prevent you from participating in the daily activities you enjoy.
That’s why we specialize in the treatment of work-related injuries, acute injuries, hand and upper extremity injuries, stroke and neurological deficits, low-vision issues, and chronic pain. We also educate our patients on independent life skills, social and interpersonal skills, problem-solving skills, and self-help skills for improved quality of life.
Individualized Programs
Our occupational therapists perform a thorough evaluation of every patient to determine your coordination, range of motion, and current state of self-care. That evaluation helps us design an individualized treatment program that caters to your unique needs.
Treatment often includes a variety of activities to promote a safe and efficient return to day-to-day activities, such as:
- At home exercises
- Energy conservation
- Self-care education
- Stress management
- Work simplification
We also collaborate with other Munson Healthcare rehabilitation professionals, such as physical and speech-language pathologists,to continually assess your progress toward your rehabilitation goals. Whether your goal is to perform activities of daily living, pursue a hobby, or go back to work, our collaborative approach can help maximize your independence at home, at school, in the workplace, or in your community.
