If you have experienced an injury or developed a chronic condition that interrupts your daily life, you may be looking for rehabilitation. Occupational therapy for adults and children includes a holistic approach to treat the entire body and help you reclaim the necessary skills. At PAM Health, we provide inpatient and outpatient occupational therapy to identify effective treatment plans and help you return to the activities you love.
The primary goal of occupational therapy is to help you develop strength and adapt to your condition. With the right treatments, occupational therapy can make everyday activities easier and improve your overall quality of life. It can help you enhance skills like walking, talking, eating, cleaning, and other activities limited by a condition or injury.
Occupational therapy can help treat a variety of conditions and traumas, many of which affect motor skills. These can include:
For chronic conditions and severe illnesses, our inpatient occupational therapy provides 24/7 support to help patients adapt to their situation and develop strength in the long term. PAM Health has inpatient acute rehabilitation locations and specialized long-term acute care to provide occupational therapy for stroke patients.
Our inpatient hospital care team includes more than occupational therapists (OTs). We provide specialists from multiple disciplines to provide comprehensive care during your long-term stay. Our OTs perform examinations and evaluations to determine the best course of treatment. They confer with our professionals to ensure all aspects of the treatment plan work toward a common goal.
For smaller injuries and more manageable conditions, our outpatient occupational therapy clinics provide complete care in scheduled sessions. PAM Health has outpatient locations across the United States for convenient care. Outpatient treatment is also ideal for individuals who require continued attention after spending time in an inpatient facility.
Our OTs create treatment plans personalized to your needs. After performing an exam and evaluation, they will compile a list of therapies and practices that will benefit you the most. This plan, paired with scheduled visits, can help you see improvement in your injury or maintain the skills gained during inpatient care.
Whether you are involved in an outpatient or inpatient program, your therapist will use various therapies to help you build strength and skills. OTs focus primarily on using everyday activities as a form of treatment, and their holistic approach can include different practices. Possible therapies include:
If an injury or illness has impacted your life, occupational therapy is an excellent way to build strength, confidence, and independence. If you are interested in our programs, start by finding a location near you. For inpatient care, call your preferred hospital to schedule a tour today.
