We would like to take a moment celebrate how OT helps people of all ages improve their independence, function, and overall quality of life.
Occupational therapy is more than just recovering from an injury. It’s about helping people do the things that matter most to them. Whether that means returning to work after an accident, learning new ways to manage daily activities with arthritis, or helping a child develop the motor skills needed for school, occupational therapists are problem solvers and partners in care.
Riverwood’s OT team provides both inpatient and outpatient therapy for a wide range of needs, including:
- Stroke and neurological rehabilitation
- Hand and upper body injuries
- Lymphedema management
- Cognitive and memory support
- Adaptive techniques for dressing, bathing, and other daily tasks
- Pediatric therapy for developmental delays and motor coordination
Occupational therapy can play a key role in recovery and long-term wellness. Therapists assess each patient’s specific challenges and create personalized plans to build strength, restore function, and improve safety at home, work, or school.
As Jordyn Asplin, OTR/L, one of Riverwood’s occupational therapists, explains:
“We focus on what’s most meaningful to each person. Our goal is to help patients build confidence and get back to doing what they love in a safe and supported way.”
During Occupational Therapy Month, we thank our dedicated OT professionals for the compassionate care they provide each day and we celebrate the resilience of the patients they serve.
