Benefits of Occupational Therapy

Whether  recovering  from  an  illness  or  something  as  serious  as  a  stroke,  participating  in and  enjoying  life’s  daily  activities are  essential  steps  in  the  process.  Activities  such  as  preparing  a  meal  for  friends,  driving  to  the  store  for  groceries  or  caring  for  a  beloved  pet  can  become  increasingly  difficult  as  we  age.  Occupational  Therapists,  with  the  use  of  rehabilitative  exercises,  focus  on  rebuilding  the  practical  skills  necessary  for  returning  safely  to  an  enjoyable  daily  life  such  as:

  • Living safely at home
  • Caring for a pet
  • Actions specific to hobbies
  • Cooking
  • Doing housework
  • Driving safely
  • Bathing and grooming
  • General mobility
  • Grocery shopping
  • Communicating
  • Managing medication
  • Managing money
