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.
