MidAmerica Occupational Therapy
What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy is an integral part of your recovery process. This is true whether your injury or condition is non-operative or requires surgery.
Occupational Therapy is a type of rehabilitation performed by an occupational therapist on patients with conditions affecting the hands and upper extremities.
Therapy is performed providers with a high degree of specialization requiring continuing education and, often, advanced certification.
This enables the hand therapist to hasten a patient’s return to a productive lifestyle.
