Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is a patient centered health profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through the use of occupation.
The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in activities of everyday life. Occupational therapy benefits people across a lifespan to improve functioning whether the disability or injury is a result from an accident, repetitive activity, birth defect, disease, or aging. It also focuses on personal and work activities, both in helping people with disabilities or injuries to find ways to maximize independence in everyday life.
Occupational therapists ask “what matters to you?” not “what’s the matter with you?”
