While it is a similar form of conservative treatment as physical therapy, occupational therapy (OT) focusesmore on rehabilitation and the “relearning” of daily activities. The purpose of occupational therapy is to make daily life easier through participating in treatments and exercises. Occupational therapy is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment option that is designed to relieve pain resulting from a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, workplace injuries, and more. Patients typically see an occupational therapist to regain function in their daily life, helpmanage chronic pain symptoms, and prevent future injury. Regular appointments with an occupational therapist are ideal for people of all ages! All about speech therapy We are also happy to introduce our newest speech therapist, Ashley. She is a state-licensed Speech Language Pathologist, who has been practicing for the past 4 years. We are so excited to have her, and we know she will be a strong asset to our team! But, again, - why speech therapy? Speech therapy is also an important service that we are eager to finally be able to offer our patients. Speech Language Pathologists such as Ashley are the only health care
professionals specifically educated and prepared to evaluate and treat children and adults with speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing problems. They address decreases in swallowing, cognitive function, and communicative function after injuries or as a result of an underlying condition or issue. A speech language pathologist can help patients develop effective speaking and listening skills, improve loudness or quality of voice, preserve the pleasures associated with eating, or re-train cognitive skills, such as memory and word-finding. How can I get started? Do you think you or a loved one could benefit from our new occupational therapy or speech therapy services? If so, contact Schlosser Therapy Services today to set up a consultationwithHope or Ashley!
