Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy

Our certified occupational therapy team includes a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT). The team provides patients with individualized, one-to-one care to help restore or increase functional abilities around the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

Pediatric Programs

If your child has a developmental delay, our occupational therapists can provide assessments and treatments in our colorful playroom.

Hand, Arm, Wrist and Shoulder Services

An injury or illness may affect your hand, wrist, elbow and/or shoulder. Our certified hand therapist specializes in helping people with:

• Fractures, sprains, nerve or tendon injuries
• Amputations
• Arthritis
• Burns
• Rotator cuff or other shoulder injuries
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Strokes

Treatments

• Advanced splinting and special taping techniques

Lymphedema

If your arms or legs are swollen because of an accumulation of lymph fluid, our therapists can help. This type of swelling can occur when lymph nodes are surgically removed for cancer treatment, or after radiation therapy or an injury. Treatments may include specialized massage and skin care, compression bandaging and exercises.
