“I enjoy my role at Advantage OT, primarily due to the variety of patients we work with. Working in work conditioning, you encounter people from different occupations and learn something new every day about new occupations while designing their return-to-work program. It makes the job more interesting and less repetitive. I also enjoy the rapport we establish with so many of our patients while in our programs.”

“I am proud of the progress that our patients make while in our work conditioning program. It gives me great pleasure, as an OT, to know that we have helped someone regain the strength and the skills that they will need to be successful when returning to work, which is the ultimate goal of what we do as OTs.”
