Occupational Therapy Services
Occupational therapists (OTs) are registered health care professionals who use a holistic therapeutic approach to improve your overall quality of living.
Occupational therapy expands the view on the causation of health problems and is unsatisfied with the generalized belief that health is singularly maintained by physical influences such as chemical imbalances in the brain, genetics, or inflammation in the body.
Occupational therapy proved its value to the medical community since the early 20th century and demonstrated that complex combinations of social, economic, and biological factors together bring about poor health and dysfunction. Bringing improvements and balance to neglected or difficult areas of living was shown to result in improved wellness in both physical and mental health.

Occupations are what you do with your time to keep active. They can be productivity, leisure, or self-care focused.
- Occupation has a positive effect on health and well-being.
- Occupation creates structure and organizes time.
- Occupation brings meaning to life, culturally and personally.
- Occupations are individual. People value different occupations.
Occupational therapists help you acquire the tools to overcome challenges.
Occupational therapy is a client-centered, evidence based practice that can treat the cause of the difficulty, the symptoms, as well as the effect on your life.
OTs are trained at a Master's level university program and are versed in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, psychology, counselling, and other holistic approaches to wellness. By evaluating from a broader knowledge base, we can identify problems in one area that are contributing to difficulties in another area. For example, identifying and treating physically painful problems may result in improved socialization. On the reverse, improving self-esteem, social skills, and social supports may result in improved diet, fitness, weight loss, and reductions in physical pain. OT's understand these dynamics and the interconnections that bring about good functioning.
Acquiring knowledge about your physical and emotional needs, providing for those needs, and achieving balance between responsibilities and enjoyment are the keys to better overall health.
