Have you or someone you know been told to see an occupational therapist? Do you need help returning to your regular routine after suffering an injury, illness, or disease? Our occupational therapists at Physio Med Outpatient Rehab have extensive experience helping people back to a meaningful life, and we can help you too!
The word “occupation” in occupational therapy may be a bit confusing. It refers to the everyday activities we do as individuals within our families, work, and communities that occupy our time and bring meaning and purpose to our lives. Occupations include the things people want to do or need to do on a regular basis.
Life often presents obstacles that interfere with these activities and make life challenging. Fortunately, our occupational therapists at Physio Med Outpatient Rehab know how to get to the root of the problem and provide solutions for the whole person. We’ll conduct a comprehensive evaluation and guide you back to health and well-being!

What do occupational therapists do?
Occupational therapy aims to improve your ability to perform specific movements and activities needed for everyday functioning. Occupational therapy is focused on helping people regain or improve everyday activities like:
- Personal-care tasks and mobility
- Bathing
- Getting dressed
- Preparing and eating meals
- Household responsibilities, including planning chores and shopping tasks
Occupational therapists can also help with physical, psychological, and cognitive processing to help people complete the most important roles in their daily lives, community, and job performance.
People of all ages can benefit from occupational therapy, ranging from children with disabilities in school to adults or older people needing help improving their physical function and cognitive health.
Our Physio Med Outpatient Rehab occupational therapists focus on each patient’s day-to-day functional needs by providing exercises and activities that enhance physical and mental health. Depending on the individual, this can mean relearning how to move, plan and process actions. For some, it can mean returning to work with modifications or some adaptation.
Our team will address each limitation and help someone regain functioning skills and other elements of their well-being through activity. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in everyday activities.
How our Physio Med Outpatient Rehab occupational therapists work
Our mission at Physio Med Outpatient Rehab is to assist our patients in resolving any aches and pains preventing them from remaining active and enjoying their lives. We are committed to finding solutions that provide immediate and long-term relief for their old or new condition.
Our occupational therapists will begin with a thorough evaluation that includes a comprehensive history and movement assessment. Our experts understand the body’s interconnectedness and are skilled at identifying all factors that contribute to your specific situation.
We understand how important it is to work together with you as you are the one experiencing the difficulties. The foundation of our assessment and subsequent therapy focuses on individual and environmental abilities and problems related to activities in your daily life.
The results of our assessments help us design a plan relevant to the individual’s current stage of life, their habits, preferences, roles in the family, work, and community, and the environments they are involved in daily.
Our interventions are designed to facilitate the ability and performance of everyday tasks within their typical settings, like home, work, and community. In addition, we use manual therapy techniques, exercises, techniques, and equipment to ensure independence in personal responsibilities.
Our therapists approach occupational therapy from a whole-person, results-driven perspective. Each session is tailored to your specific needs to resolve your pain and functional limitations as soon as possible. We use treatments that have been proven to work in the past.
Our high-quality, research-backed, patient-centered treatments focus on identifying and resolving the underlying cause rather than just treating the symptoms, so you can get the long-term and permanent relief you deserve!
