The Occupational Therapy Difference
Therapy for your Real Life in your real world
Occupational Therapy IS the road less traveled for most people with complex pain and health conditions. With a focus on “being real” we are the healthcare professionals who work with you in the place you need us the most—real life.
Occupational therapy practitioners will often provide services outside a clinic or office setting, in your real world environments (home, work, school, recreation, shopping, etc.).
This makes all the difference!
The difference You gain:
The ability to learn and apply skills in your real life environments.
More complete and individualized therapy recommendations based on real world practice and application.
A therapist and “health coach” who is able to support you in achieving your goals and vision for your health in practical and meaningful ways.
The option to include family members. co-workers, or friends in your therapy activities.
The courage, skills, and resilience to be healthier, happier, and more engaged in the activities and roles you want and need to do.
Science informed, Person-Centered treatment approach
As Occupational Therapy practitioners we study the science and train in the methods and approaches that are the most beneficial in helping you develop the skills you need to restore your body, rebuild your life, and renew your joy.
We also study the “science of you.” This means we are committed to exploring “you” in-depth with you—your story, experiences, thoughts, emotions, what’s meaningful to you, and how you respond and function in your real life.
As Occupational Therapy practitioners we are specially trained to address the “whole person, whole-life” aspects of your well-being. Known as bio-psycho-social aspects these include:
Physical functioning
Psychological/emotional factors
Social/Recreational/Work/Self-care factors and engagement
Cognitive factors
Sensory processing and self-regulation/modulation
Life Balance and re-engagement in meaningful activities
Adaptations, modifications, and equipment to support independence and achievement of personal goals
And more!!
