LIVE COMFORTABLY ONCE AGAIN WITH OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
WHAT CONDITIONS ARE TREATED BY AN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST?
Are you recovering from a recent injury or surgical procedure? Are you living with a chronic condition that causes constant discomfort? Whatever the case may be, occupational therapy can help improve your health. At Reddy Care Physical, Occupational, & Aquatic Therapy, our occupational therapists can help you restore your function and teach you the skills to manage your daily activities. Occupational therapy helps people from young to old do the things they want and need to do. This kind of therapy works with people of all ages to live their lives to the fullest by promoting health and/or helping with an injury, illness, or disability. Occupational therapists (OTs) treat injured, ill, or disabled patients with the therapeutic use of everyday activities by implementing strategies to help patients recover, improve, learn and maintain the skills needed for daily living and working duties. If you are experiencing discomfort, contact Reddy Care Physical, Occupational, & Aquatic Therapy today for more information.
The word “occupation” is used to describe activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, health management, rest and sleep, education, work, play, leisure, and social participation. Occupational therapy focuses more closely on hand, elbow, and wrist pain relief. Some common conditions we treat with OT, through our specialized hand therapy services, include:
• Carpal tunnel syndrome • Arthritis • Burns
• Nerve injuries • Fractures • Tendinitis
The medical conditions that occupational therapists often treat include the following:
• ADHD • Chronic pain • Stroke • Diabetes
• Spinal cord injuries • Brain injuries • Multiple sclerosis
Everyday personalized activities that people do as individuals, in families, with communities and to occupy time bring meaning and purpose to life. Occupations can involve the execution of multiple activities for completion and can result in various outcomes. Whether you’re dealing with an old or new issue, conservative care of an occupational therapist is one of the most effective ways to treat pain and injury. The goal of rehabilitation is to help you regardless of your current condition or the setting you need assistance in. We will help you participate in the activities you need and want to do.

A PERSONALIZED TREATMENT APPROACH
Occupational therapy is more than just addressing an injury. At Reddy Care Physical, Occupational, & Aquatic Therapy, our dedicated therapists focus on the functional needs of each patient by implementing specific exercises and activities that promote physical and psychological well-being. We will perform a thorough evaluation, determine the best course of action, and implement the strategies to ensure a positive outcome. We may also include evaluating your home and other environments (i.e., workplace, school) and making recommendations for adaptive equipment and/or training to fit your needs. Our team will implement compensatory techniques to help you perform tasks in an alternative manner or by using adaptive aids to be more independent. We can also use compensatory strategies to help you learn new tasks when your abilities and current situation dictate a new way. Occupational therapists use a holistic perspective, focusing on adapting the environment to fit the person. You will feel better emotionally when you can comfortably engage in essential activities. This unique approach makes occupational therapy a vital part of your health care.

INSURANCE TERMS EXPLAINED: A QUICK PRIMER
One thing we do at Reddy Care Physical, Occupational, & Aquatic Therapy is help you make the most of your health insurance plan. We know how confusing they can be and want to ensure you get the care you need (for as little money as possible). We’ve found that many people struggle with common insurance terminology, so here’s a quick primer: • Copay: Also known as a copayment, this refers to the amount of money you may have to pay before receiving a medical service (such as seeing a physician). • Deductible: A deductible is a fixed amount of money you’ll need to pay out of pocket before insurance will cover your medical expenses. It generally resets each year. • Coinsurance: Coinsurance refers to the cost you split between your insurance provider, often after you’ve met your deductible.
WHAT THESE TERMS MEAN IN PRACTICE Mary’s insurance plan has a deductible of $1500, 80/20 coinsurance, and a doctor’s copay of $10. • Any time Mary visits her doctor, regardless of whether or not her deductible has been met, she pays $10. • However, she has to pay for other services 100% out-of-pocket until the costs accrue to $1500. • At that point, any additional services are split between Mary and her insurance: she pays 20% of costs, and they pay 80%. • When the new year rolls over, Mary’s deductible resets. We know it can be confusing. If you have any questions about how your insurance impacts your access to physical therapy, we’re here to help!
