Whether you're facing a temporary disability or lifelong impairment, TERRIO's Occupational Therapist (OT's) are here to help. Occupational Therapy will give you the daily living skills you need to cope with a chronic condition or injury.
What exactly is Occupational Therapy? The confusion comes from the word "Occupation" which is naturally associated with job or employment. Occupational Therapy (OT) is the use of productive, creative activity by trained professionals to promote recovery or rehabilitation. Our purpose is to help you develop skills for the job of living needed for independent, satisfying lives.
Many injuries that would typically require Occupational Therapy can be treated by a Physical Therapist. Contact TERRIO if you have specific questions or injuries that you are not sure who can treat. If we can't help we will direct you to someone who can!
