Occupational therapists treat and assess conditions that affect a patient’s ability to perform daily tasks, these tasks include self care to high level activities which can even be job related. In addition to assessing and treating these conditions, occupational therapists or OTs design treatment plans that help patients with functional activities to improve cognitive, visual skills and general coordination skills. Overall the goal of occupational therapy is to help patients function with the highest level of independence possible.
Physical therapists are health care professionals that use specifically designed exercises and equipment to help patients regain or improve quality of life. We diagnose and treat patients of all ages with injuries that limit the patient’s ability to move and perform various activities in daily life. As a physical therapist, one of my passions is developing a personalized plan using different treatment techniques to promote increased mobility, reduced pain, restore function and even prevent disability.
