What is Occupational Therapy?

“Occupational therapy is a client-centered health profession concerned with promoting health and quality of life through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. Occupational therapists work collaboratively with people of all ages and abilities who experience challenges or obstacles to participation. These obstacles may be caused from an impairment of body structure, a change in function, or from barriers in the social and physical environment.” (Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists).

Benefits of Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists help improve muscle strength, coordination, and range of motion. They also address fine motor skills and sensory issues, enabling patients to perform everyday tasks more effectively.

Occupational therapists work on improving cognitive functions such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive functioning. Through cognitive rehabilitation exercises and compensatory strategies, patients can better manage their daily routines and engage more fully in their personal and professional lives.
