For daily tasks, such as getting dressed, bathing, eating, performing work tasks, and other essentials, our team can help you restore your strength, flexibility, and movement while helping you pick up basic skills along the way. Working together, nothing can stop us.

Skills important to you

Everyone’s recovery journey is unique. Together, with you and your family, our occupational-therapy team will develop a care plan tailored to safely tackle your goals. In some cases, adaptive equipment is recommended to make certain tasks more manageable. Things we can focus on for you include home-safety evaluations, return-to-work training, and wheelchair assessments. Our guidance can help you perform your best while helping to avoid injuries that hold you back.

Workability℠

If an injury, accident, or illness is keeping you from work, we can help. From neurological disorders to back or neck pain, our licensed therapists provide specialized care to get you back on the job.

Fit for Function

Fit for Function is designed to assess and improve your ability to perform basic activities of daily living (BADL). Patients are then educated on proper body mechanics, safe range of motion, and how to avoid injuries.
