Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy (OT) embraces a holistic approach to improving your ability to engage in everyday activities, also known as occupations. Unlike traditional medical treatments focusing solely on alleviating symptoms, occupational therapy considers the whole person, addressing physical, cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors impacting optimal functioning.
