Occupational Therapy

therapist working with patient

At Livingston HealthCare, we offer rehabilitation services to help you restore or improve your quality of life, whether you are recovering from an injury or illness or coping with a chronic condition. Our experienced team of physical, occupational, and speech therapists will create personal goals and a customized treatment program for you. Whether you are still in the hospital or already an outpatient, we offer care designed to get you back to what you love doing.

The goal of occupational therapy is to enable an individual to carry out their activities of daily living - which include those performed at work, home, school and the community - as independently as possible. Following a thorough evaluation, our occupational therapist will tailor a treatment plan dedicated to restoring your maximum functional ability. Your occupational therapist will work individually with you and will closely monitor your progress and modify your program as required.

The need for occupational therapy may arise from a traumatic or repetitive injury, an orthopedic disorder, or a chronic or congenital illness. Individuals with a new injury, or those with a progression of a recurring problem that causes limitations in function, can all benefit from outpatient occupational therapy. Our occupational therapists treat people with a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Hand/upper extremity therapy
  • Cumulative trauma
  • Post-surgical rehab of the upper extremities
  • Shoulder pain
  • Sports or work-related injuries
  • Arthritis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Activities of daily living/upper extremity rehabilitation
  • Splinting
  • Adaptive equipment recommendation and training
  • Therapeutic modalities
