Occupational therapy (OT) helps individuals regain the ability to perform everyday tasks after injury or illness. Whether someone is recovering from a stroke, surgery, or chronic disease, OT focuses on practical activities that improve quality of life. These can include basic tasks like dressing, cooking, and grooming, as well as more complex activities needed for work or hobbies. Occupational therapists assess the patient’s home and work environments to make adjustments that facilitate easier movement and independence. They also provide adaptive tools and strategies to compensate for any long-term physical limitations. Through OT, patients can reclaim their autonomy and return to a more normal, fulfilling life.
