We have helped our patients not only get back to their occupation but more importantly we have helped them get back to play and leisure activities: tennis, golfing, bowling, fishing, skiing, boating, baseball, hockey, basketball, football, cycling, sewing, glass cutting, piano, clarinet, flute, drumming, cooking, wood working, motorcycle riding, driving… you get the idea. An occupational therapist keeps your goals in mind when developing your specific treatment regimen.
We take better care of our cars than we do our bodies. We know that an engine will not last if we do not change the oil, yet we expect to get years of use from our hands with no preventative care.
