Occupational Therapy Services:

At Ochiltree General Hospital, our expanded Therapy Department now proudly includes both Physical Therapy (PT)and Occupational Therapy (OT), offering a comprehensive approach to your recovery and well-being. While both disciplines help you regain function, they focus on different aspects of daily life. Our Physical Therapists specialize in improving your body's movement, strength, balance, and range of motion, often after an injury or surgery. They'll help you walk further, lift more safely, or regain athletic ability. In contrast, our new Occupational Therapists concentrate on helping you master the everyday tasks and activities that matter most to you – whether it's getting dressed independently, cooking a meal, managing personal care, returning to work, or engaging in hobbies. They adapt tasks and environments to empower you to live as independently as possible, ensuring you can participate fully in your daily life. Together, our PT and OT teams work seamlessly to provide care tailored to your unique recovery journey.
