What Our Clients Are Saying
I've been to many other places for therapy, and none of them come close to the kindness of the staff, and the quality of the braces.
Melissa R.
This is a wonderful therapy office!
I have had multiple splints made here. Each one has been incredibly comfortable, and required no additional visits to fix them.
Jen L.
From the moment I first walked into the office, I felt supported and listened to.
Shellie H.
"Thank you to each and every one of you for helping me through this trying time of my life."
"I can do things at home and have a much better outlook on life."
"I so appreciate this professional office. Thank you to each one of you!"
What is occupational/hand therapy?
Occupational Therapy (OT) practitioners ask, “What matters to you?” not, “What’s the matter with you?” Through the therapeutic use of everyday activities, OT’s help people participate in the activities they want and need to do. This includes work, leisure, self-care, and caring for family.
OTs:
Perform assessments of functional ability and limitations.
Develop intervention to improve personal performance in activity.
Reassess and modify the treatment plan to attain client goals.
