About Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy: Empowering Your Journey to Wellness

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a holistic and client-centered health profession that empowers individuals of all ages to engage in meaningful and purposeful activities. It focuses on enhancing everyday life skills, fostering independence, and promoting overall well-being.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a dynamic field that combines scientific principles with compassion to help individuals achieve their fullest potential. Whether recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or navigating life transitions, occupational therapy provides the tools and support needed to regain and maintain the ability to participate in the activities that matter most to you.

What are occupations?

Occupations are your everyday activities (self-care, household tasks, leisure, and productivity); i.e. all that you do and the roles that drive the activities.

The primary goal of OT is to enable and empower you to participate in your meaningful activities of everyday life, despite your condition.

Enable achieves this outcome by working with you, your family, and/or available services to enhance your ability to engage and complete the occupations that you want to, need to, or are expected to do.

Enable can also modify your environment to better support your engagement by recommending house, work, or school adaptations and/or providing equipment.

Ultimately, promoting good health & well-being and improving quality of life!
