What exactly is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy is a patient-centered health profession that promotes health and well-being through “occupation,” which refers to the practical aspects of activities that enable people to live independently and with a sense of self.
Through activity, occupational therapy addresses the physical, psychological, and cognitive aspects of their well-being. They treat injured, ill, or disabled patients by using everyday activities as a form of therapy.
Occupational therapy’s primary goal is to enable people to participate in everyday activities. They assist these patients in developing, recovering, improving, and maintaining the daily skills required for living and working.
