Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy uses purposeful activity to prevent dysfunction or deformity, maintain health, and maximize independence. This form of therapy addresses a person’s ability to perform activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, feeding, and household chores, as well as work and leisure activities.
At Stewart Memorial, we help patients of all ages regain independence and physical function in their daily lives after injury, surgery, illness, psychological or developmental impairments.

What should I expect at my appointment?

Other Occupational Therapy Services
Driving Rehab Available
Occupational therapy can assist individuals in maintaining the activities they enjoy the most. Because occupational therapy focuses on enabling participation, OT is the natural route to address driving and community mobility across the lifespan. OT practitioners have the science-based knowledge to understand progressive conditions and life changes that can affect both driving and driving risk. We’ll assess a patient’s cognition, reaction time, visual motor skills, road safety awareness, upper and lower extremity range of motion, and driving abilities to help regain driving independence.
