Happy Occupational Therapy Month!

April is National Occupational Therapy Month and the perfect opportunity to explain what often appears to be a mystery to those needing OT help – “what occupational therapists actually do!”

Occupational therapists are healthcare professionals who help patients maximize fine motor skills so they can perform daily living activities and remain as independent as possible. While occupational therapists (OTs) work with people who have injuries, illnesses, disabilities, or other conditions that affect primary occupations, or key functional everyday activities. An optimal therapy program prioritizes activities that are the most meaningful to the patient in therapy.

“At Trio Rehab, our occupational therapists never take a one-size fits all approach,” offered Jennica Colvin, Owner & Occupational Therapist at Trio Rehab.
“We consider ourselves professional active listeners who specialize in not only helping patients maintain an independent lifestyle but ultimately achieve the most productive quality of life.”

An occupational therapist’s job is to treat the whole person — not just one issue, as with a physical therapists, and will design treatment plans to focus on functional restoration that may consist of strengthening, performing a task in multiple way, and using adaptive equipment or modified environments to ensure success.
