Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists understand that your life is made up of meaningful everyday activities or “occupations”. Your ability to function and perform those valued occupations may be disrupted by a new or chronic condition, accident or injury. Occupational therapy incorporates the your specific valued activities into the rehabilitation process by focusing on the things you want and need to do in your daily life.
At LHMPTI, our highly skilled occupational therapists will focus on your goals and activities to help you to regain your independence and live your life to the fullest. Our occupational therapists will evaluate you to learn your history, life experiences, and interests as they develop your occupational profile. They will incorporate the goals, values, and activities that are important to you into an individualized rehabilitation plan of care.
If you find yourself having difficulty with or unable to participate in your daily activities due to an accident, injury, disease, or condition, LHMPTI occupational therapists can help you. Occupational therapy can be beneficial for all individuals regardless of age, health condition, disability, or risk factors. Occupational therapy can help patients and their families in all phases of life whether you have a toddler who is not meeting their developmental milestones, a child with autism who is having difficulty interacting with classmates or succeeding in school, a spouse who was in a car accident and is having difficulty dressing and bathing due to an injured upper extremity, or an aging family member who is at risk of depression and falls due to isolation and unsafe conditions in the home.
At LHMPTI, our occupational therapists use a holistic approach to evaluate, treat, and rehabilitate our patients. Our therapists will meet with you to consider how your unique condition is affecting your ability to function and engage in the activities that are important to you.
