At Ultima Medical, our Occupational Therapy services are focused on helping individuals regain independence and confidently return to their daily routines—at work, at home, and in the community. Whether recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or transitioning back into the workplace, our team provides comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions to support recovery and work-readiness.
What Is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy focuses on helping individuals regain or improve the skills they need for daily living and working after an illness, injury, or health-related challenge. During your appointment, an occupational therapist will assess how your physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities impact your ability to perform tasks at home, in the community, or at work. Based on this assessment, they will recommend strategies, tools, or modifications to support your recovery and help you safely return to your usual activities, including employment. The approach is practical, goal-oriented, and tailored to your specific needs.
