What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is an evidence-based practice that focuses on helping individuals of all ages to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities. Our highly-trained occupational therapists specialize in various areas, including hand therapy, to address a wide range of conditions and challenges.
Unlocking Potential with Hand Specialists
As certified hand therapists, our occupational therapists have advanced skills and expertise in treating hand impairments caused by disease, deformity, or injury. Whether it’s post-surgical issues, overuse injuries, traumatic injuries, or hand impairment related to conditions like arthritis or stroke, our specialists employ a holistic approach to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance function.
Tailored Interventions for Optimal Outcomes
At WESTARM, our occupational therapists provide individualized evaluations to determine each client’s unique goals and challenges. Customized intervention plans are then developed to address specific limitations and foster progress toward these goals. Our therapists work closely with clients and their families to ensure interventions are meaningful, effective, and integrated into their daily routines.
Results-Driven Approach
Evaluating outcomes is an integral part of our occupational therapy practice. Through regular assessments and ongoing communication with our clients, we monitor progress and make adjustments to intervention plans as needed. Our ultimate focus is empowering individuals to live life to the fullest by promoting health, preventing further limitations, and enabling them to overcome physical and cognitive barriers.
