Occupational Rehab
Occupational Rehabilitation after an Injury
Accident Injury Doctors | Helping People Return to Physical Wellness after an Injury
After any type of physical injury, particularly when you are having challenges performing many of the routine functions of daily life, occupational rehabilitation and therapy can help you return to maximum physical wellness. Occupational rehabilitation, or occupational therapy, focuses on your fine motor functions and overall sense of physical and mental independence as you recover or manage significant injuries or conditions.
To effectively improve and maintain your physical state, so that you can engage in a daily routine after a serious injury, you need to work with a professional specialist who understands the impact of chronic, degenerative and major health conditions on your fine motor functions. In the aftermath of a serious physical injury, managing the pain and discomfort that comes with it can be extremely taxing. When your physical state also limits your ability to resume normal activities, such as work, hobbies and even dressing yourself, an occupational therapist can help. Working with one of our experienced occupational therapists will ensure that your recovery progresses at a safe and steady pace.
We’ll Help You Increase Your Level of Independence
Workplace injuries, sports injuries and car accident injuries often lead to significant impairments, which, if untreated, can limit your motor function and affect your overall ability to enjoy a functional and independent life. With the guidance and instruction of an occupational therapist, you can enhance your flexibility and mobility, strengthen your muscles, and build your hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, allowing you to handle precise tasks, such as buttoning your shirt, brushing your teeth or using a knife, fork and spoon to feed yourself.
When you lean on the experience and expertise of a trained and certified occupational therapist, you can work on specific exercises and stretches to improve your condition at a steady and manageable rate. As you move forward in your physical recovery, you can also expect improvements in your mental health. An experienced occupational therapist will help ensure that you don’t have to struggle through your recovery by yourself. Your therapist can also confirm that your recovery timeline is on track, even when your progress feels slow and discouraging.
