Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession that helps individuals regain or develop the skills needed for daily living and working activities. It is particularly helpful for individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or injury that affect their ability to perform tasks like dressing, cooking, or working. Occupational therapists assess the individual’s needs and design personalized interventions to promote independence and improve functional ability.

Therapists may use adaptive equipment, teach new techniques, or work on strengthening and coordination to help individuals with physical, cognitive, or emotional limitations. They also provide education on ergonomics and lifestyle modifications to promote long-term health and well-being.

Occupational therapy is essential for individuals with disabilities or recovering from injury, helping them to regain independence and improve their quality of life.
