What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a dynamic and client-centered healthcare profession focused on helping individuals engage in meaningful activities that promote independence and enhance their quality of life. Occupational therapists work with people of all ages who may be facing physical, developmental, emotional, or cognitive challenges. By assessing an individual's abilities, needs, and goals, occupational therapists tailor interventions to improve daily living skills, facilitate optimal functioning, and promote overall well-being. These interventions can include therapeutic activities, exercise, manual therapies, modalities, adaptive strategies, and environmental modifications.
