About Me

Services provided under occupational therapy help to restore function, prevent impairment, provide adaptations and modifications to the environment to promote participation in activities of daily living such as self-care, instrumental activities of daily living and work tasks to help improve quality of life. Occupational therapists in the outpatient clinic treat a variety of conditions whether it be neurological such as post stroke or CP, post-operative such as carpal tunnel releases, tendon repairs, ligament repairs of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, as well as non-operative orthopedic injuries that may be causing pain such as tendinopathies, nerve compressions, etc. Occupational therapist specialize in the upper extremity and utilize custom splinting either to immobilize, mobilize or enhance function.
