Occupational Therapy
Treatment Options for Both Orthopedic & Neurological Patient Populations
Our occupational therapists aim to improve the health and participation of patients through engagement in daily activities, or occupations, that are meaningful to the patient. Through the merging of traditional evidence-based occupational therapy practices with the fundamentals of Applied Functional Science, we empower our clients to meet their goals and achieve the best outcomes.
​
