What Is Occupational Therapy for Seniors and Adults?

Occupational therapy is all about helping you regain or maintain the ability to perform daily tasks. Our licensed therapists make personalized treatment plans that help you with the problems you’re facing, whether you’re recovering from knee replacement surgery or dealing with arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, or other conditions.

Our therapists assess your current living situation, anticipate future needs, and recommend modifications to help you maintain independence at home in the long term. If you’re recovering from surgery, our targeted interventions help you get back to doing the things you need and want to do quickly and safely. We do this by giving you practical functional task training and exercise programs that build strength without slowing down healing.
