Occupational Therapists are health care professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to the very oldest, who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. OT's examine each individual and develop a plan using treatment technique to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function and prevent disability. In addition, OT's work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.
