Occupational Therapy Program

Whether you’ve been injured or need assistance with daily activities, let our occupational therapists guide you through your journey. At Banner Physical Therapy, our occupational therapy services are led by professionals with advanced degrees in occupational therapy and physical therapy, ensuring you receive expert care to enhance your ability to perform daily tasks independently and get the most from life.

What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is used to help patients who struggle with everyday tasks. This type of therapy can benefit people who have mental or physical impairments and want to be able to live independently. 

Occupational Therapy vs Physical Therapy

While physical therapists address body movements and injuries, occupational therapists concentrate on improving everyday life skills and activities essential for independent living.

Who Can Benefit from Occupational Therapy?

Banner Health's occupational therapists work with a multitude of patients, ranging from young children to adults. Children and adults who suffer with anxiety or children who need to develop muscle control usually benefit the most from occupational therapy. People of all ages looking to improve cognitive, sensory or physical skills can benefit significantly, enhancing overall mental health. 

What Is Occupational Therapy Used For?

Occupational therapy addresses daily living tasks such as tying shoes, fine motor skills and other activities necessary for independent living, often improving range of motion and mobility in the process. Occupational therapy patients can recover from injuries or assist with disabilities that affect everyday life activities, ultimately improving quality of life.

What to Expect from Occupational Therapy

When you arrive for occupational therapy, you can expect an assessment by the therapist, including a review of your medical history, as well as an exam. The occupational health therapist will ask about day-to-day life and activities and if there are any main pain points you would want to work on in therapy. This will help develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Occupational therapy treatment can vary depending on your assessment. After you’ve completed your sessions, your therapist can help set you up for success with a follow-up plan and exercises to continue, if needed.

Choosing Banner Physical Therapy for your occupational therapy needs means choosing a team dedicated to your well-being and recovery. Our expert therapists bring years of experience and specialized training to provide personalized care tailored to your unique goals. At Banner Physical Therapy, you can expect compassionate support and evidence-based treatments that promote optimal function and independence. 

Whether recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or seeking to enhance daily living skills, our commitment to excellence ensures you receive the highest quality of care. Contact us today to discover how we can help you achieve your best possible outcome.
