Occupational Rehab
Occupational rehabilitation, or occupational therapy, is the practice of developing a patient’s fine motor functions and overall sense of physical and mental independence as they recover or manage significant injuries or conditions.
In order to manage and improve patients’ physical state and allow for patients dealing with serious injuries to sustain their daily routines, they should work with professional specialists that understand the struggles of chronic, degenerative and major conditions that impact fine motor functions.
Managing the pain and discomfort that accompany a serious injury is extremely taxing. When your physical state also limits your ability to resume normal activities, such as work, hobbies and even clothing yourself, it’s critical to receive rehabilitative assistance. Rehab is challenging enough, but you don’t have to do it alone. Working with an occupational therapist will ensure that your recovery progresses at a safe and steady pace.
Improved Level of Independence
Workplace injuries, sports injuries and car accident injuries can lead to significant impairments. If gone untreated, these injuries can impact your motor function and overall ability to sustain a functional and independent life. By following the guidance and instruction of an occupational therapist, you can improve your flexibility and mobility, strengthen your muscles, and enhance your hand eye coordination and fine motor skills to refine precise tasks such as buttoning shirts, brushing teeth and utilizing utensils to feed yourself.
By leaning on the experience and expertise of a trained and certified occupational therapist, you can work on specific exercises and stretches that will improve your condition at a steady rate. Moving forward in your recovery will also aid in your mental health. Having an occupational therapist on your side will help you realize you are not alone in your recovery and also assure you that your recovery timeline is on track, even when it feels slow and discouraging.
Catered Care
No two injuries are the same, and no two patients are the same. Rehabilitation is always a unique experience that should be directed at a pace that encourages progress without placing excess discomfort on the patient. Similarly, rehabilitation cannot reflect a templated treatment plan because each patient benefits from different types and degrees of exercises. Our rehabilitation team is dedicated to providing an original experience that maximizes the patient’s recovery and physical capabilities.
