Occupational Therapist in Hoboken, NJ

There are many different health issues that can affect people’s ability to participate in everyday activities. An occupational therapist (OT) is the kind of professional that helps these people. An OT can help people:

– Learn new approaches to doing things
– Relearn skills and develop new skills
– Help make life easier with the use of certain materials or equipment
– Adapt to their environment better or adapt their environment to suit them better

Those things can be helpful in work life, at home, at school, in social life, in recreational life, or in other settings. Occupational therapy isn’t about work training or vocational training; instead, it’s about health care that helps people resume or rejoin participation in everyday activities. For example, people might need help with their computer use skills in a classroom setting. There’s a lot an OT can do to help you!

Often, OTs work with physiotherapists, but the roles are different. Physiotherapists help people restore their physical function, whereas occupational therapists focus on how that function affects people’s ability to do the activities that are important to them.

A physiotherapist is able to help you with any issue related to your spine, feet, ankles, knees, hips, etc., but an occupational therapist is better able to help you with any issues related to your elbows, wrists, and hands. An occupational therapist can help with much more than these body parts, though, like a person’s balance, coordination, memory, organizational skills, disability, work environment, and more. If you have an issue in any of these areas and it’s affecting your everyday life, you should seek out an OT.

Occupational therapy is really accessible for anyone of any age! You can ask your primary care physician, a social worker, or another health/social care professional for a referral, if you like, or you can simply self-refer to see an occupational therapist.
