LSVT BIG and PWR Moves inspired Occupational Therapy to improve function and independence in day to day life. The goal is to keep those functioning with movement disorders home and functioning at their most optimal level. We use specific neuro-motor strategies to improve balance, endurance, and functional mobility.
Occupational Therapists are experts when it comes to treating the person as a whole, identifying what works, doesn’t work, and modifying the environment, or making adjustments as need to accommodate the patient.
Occupational Therapists look closely at ADLs (activities of daily living). This includes basic self care tasks (dressing, self feeding, toileting, bathing, bed mobility), and other functional tasks such as, cooking, cleaning, housekeeping, etc. Improving and maintaining independence in these areas are essential for staying at home.
Upper extremity dysfunction, including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand, are all within an Occupational Therapists scope of practice.
Improving functionality of the affected extremity is essential to ADL completion.
The benefits of having an occupational therapist that can come to your home, is that your day to day tasks can be easily simulated, so the carryover is significantly better.
Looking to improve your independence at home, continue staying at home and functioning at full potential? Occupational Therapy may be for you
