Medically Speaking, OT Works –
The Advantage of Occupational Therapy
Research indicates occupational therapy plays an increased role in the management of health outcomes beyond recovery from injuries. Complex and chronic diseases, pain management, and even some mental health interventions and dementia may benefit from the expert mind-body approach of occupational therapy.
Preventing Reinjury –
Work Simulation, Conditioning and Testing
When a patient suffers reinjury, it affects the body and mind, and can cause a significant setback to recovery. Physical therapy alone does not provide the expert testing, specific work simulation and mind-body approach of OT, which increases successful return-to-work with lower chance of reinjury.
