Occupational  Therapy

is the rehabilitative profession involved in the relief of pain and restoration of function.  It is a health and rehabilitation profession that helps individuals achieve independence in their lives despite disabilities.  Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants work with people from all ages whom, because of physical, developmental, social or emotional problems, need specialized assistance to lead productive and satisfying lives.

The primary goal of our Occupational & Physical therapy practice is to provide comprehensive personalized care to individuals, with upper extremity injuries/problems. We strive to teach each patient to manage their distinct problem(s) in the fewest number of visits possible and to avoid dependence on ongoing care.

Special attention is given to adaptive equipment and splinting which are needed for protection of injured/healing structures, while providing for optimum function.
