HRRMC Occupational Therapy
Lead your best life
Occupational therapy helps patients adapt, relearn or improve daily functions
that have been disrupted due to injury, accident, birth defects, arthritis,
aging, and emotional or developmental problems.
Occupational Therapy promotes independence in basic self-care, recovery
of lost work skills, increased confidence in physical abilities, and cognitive/mental
rehabilitation such as problem solving or improving short-term memory.
Rehabilitation may include:
- Education and training with devices and techniques to improve strength,
range of motion and endurance
- Home-safety assessments to determine adaptive equipment needs, where to
install grab bars, and where to move furniture for safer, easier mobility
- Hand therapy to treat arthritis, nerve damage, and arm trauma
- Pediatric therapy, which includes a variety of rehabilitation programs
designed for children
Defining Your Treatment
Occupational therapy is a holistic practice. This means the treatment is
designed to help patients face the specific challenges they face in day-to-day
life, and equip them with tools to handle their long-term goals. In addition
to physical improvement, occupational therapy aims to help the patient’s
social development. Dealing with a disability or declining health is not
easy, but occupational therapy can help improve quality of life.
Occupational Therapy business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. -
