Occupational Therapy

The Health Link Occupational Therapy team helps patients recover from or adapt to disability and/or illness. The Team works collaboratively with the patient, their family members and the primary physician to create and carry out the plan of care which is intended to guide patients’ in their adjustment period; this ultimately leads them to confidently resume ownership of their daily lives. More specifically, the Team incorporates exercises involving everyday tasks and routines to assist patients in their rehabilitative progress.
Get Started
The patient’s Care Program may gradually increase as they begin to improve. The overarching goal is to be in control of symptoms and eliminate their cause rather than being led by them. As risk factors lessen and the patient’s condition improves, therapy routines will be expanded in order to achieve the greatest possible amount of independent mobility. Services include, but are not limited to:
