Occupational Therapy
Metro Physical & Aquatic Therapy is a leading provider of Occupational Therapy on Long Island. Focusing on body mechanics, physical therapy enables one to live fully despite an injury, illness or disability. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or hoping to regain control from a developmental or cognitive disability, occupational therapy is designed to treat the whole person rather than just the impairment.
Occupational therapy services may include comprehensive evaluations of the client’s home and other environments (e.g., workplace, school), recommendations for adaptive equipment and training in its use, and guidance and education for family members and caregivers. Occupational therapy practitioners have a holistic perspective, in which the focus is on adapting the environment to fit the person, and the person is an integral part of the therapy team.
WHY OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?
If you have difficulty completing daily tasks or participating in regular activities, it may be time to consider occupational physical therapy. By targeting fine motor skills, physical therapy helps develop and recover the dexterity needed to handle day-to-day responsibilities. Patients with orthopedic or neurologic injuries who have trouble with cognitive or physical tasks can use occupational therapy as a way to regain control of their bodies.
No two cases are the same, nor do we treat them as such. With an occupational therapy evaluation, our experts can determine a solid approach to treatment so you can be on your way to reclaiming confidence.
