While the training in school for Physical Therapists & Occupational Therapists looks different, the end result is rehab providers who focus on whole-body, holistic care intended to improve function, mechanics, and structure to meet our patients' goals. So what does Occupational Therapy bring to the field?
A Holistic Approach
Like PTs, OTs take a whole-person approach to our care. We meet you where you are and provide modifications and adaptations to help you decrease discomfort and do the things you love all while building the skills you need to stay symptom-free.
Behavioral and Sensory Support
OTs address behavioral, sensory, and psychosocial elements, offering a comprehensive approach to your care. Psychosocial factors that may be targeted in OT include the physical, mental, and emotional stresses of daily life, sleep quality, and mental health, as they relate to your symptoms and diagnoses. We are here to help you build the care team you need through our numerous referral sources - after all it does take a village!
Task Modifications
OTs are the experts on modifying daily tasks such as:
We all hate getting the questions “How much water and fiber are you getting in daily? Or “How often are you going to the bathroom?” Let us help you create and stick to a toileting and nutrition routine that fits your lifestyle while working to say goodbye to urinary or bowel leaking, urgency, and/or constipation. Improve your routines and ditch the annoying questions from your other medical providers!
OTs are highly skilled in recommending and training you in using tools to improve challenging tasks. For example, the use of a handheld bidet may be helpful for those with pain or limited mobility with wiping.
Pelvic health occupational therapists can provide strategies to reduce discomfort and enhance communication and connection with your partner. This may include:
Time to say goodbye to your upper back and neck pain when taking care of your kiddos! OT can help support symptom reduction in your role as a parent with activities like
Dr. Marlena is AMAZING! She truly helped me get back on track with my physical health, which aided my mental health, too. I highly recommend her and this organization for anyone dealing with neurological issues, as well as anything else related to pelvic floor strengthening. They truly work with you to help you meet your healing journey goals.
Dr. Joy is by far the best pelvic PT I have ever worked with. Not only is she understanding and approachable. She is by far the most knowledgeable. After years of pain and different doctors/PT's she is by far the best. Not only a great PT but a great human. I highly recommend her treatment.
