Occupational Therapy
Gain skills and strategies to help you live as independently as possible with occupational therapy at Cone Health.
Ways Occupational Therapy Can Help
Depend on your occupational therapist (OT) to help you improve your ability to do the things you need and want to do—from getting dressed to gardening to completing work. Your Cone Health occupational therapist may help you make tasks easier and safer by:
- Guiding you through activities and exercises to improve coordination, motion, strength and function
- Showing you how to use adaptive equipment or how to adapt a task to improve your success
- Creating splints to reduce spasticity (muscle stiffness), improve or maintain motion, decrease pain, improve positioning, or protect you after an injury
- Recommending changes to your home or work environment
- Partnering with your family and caregivers to solve problems and promote activity
- Offering education on community resources
- Providing cognitive and sensory retraining
