April is Occupational Therapy Month and we’re taking this opportunity to shine a spotlight on the fantastic work happening at our very own Physical Rehabilitation Center of Southwest Oklahoma.
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) is about helping people get back to doing the everyday things they want and need to do. Think about it – from getting dressed in the morning to cooking a meal, or even getting back to your favorite hobbies. If an illness, injury, or developmental issue is making those things a challenge, that’s where our OT team steps in.
Our occupational therapists can provide guidance and recommendations for a whole range of things, including:
Daily Living Activities: Think things like getting dressed, showering, and eating – we can help make these easier.
Adaptive Equipment: We can suggest and train you on adaptive equipment like shower chairs or tools that simplify everyday tasks.
Support for Loved Ones: We offer training for caregivers and family members so they can best support you.
Making Your Day Flow: We can work with you to plan and get the most out of your daily routines.
Getting Back to What You Love: Whether it’s returning to work, school, or your favorite hobbies, we’re here to help.
Staying Safe at Home: We’ll offer tips and modifications to prevent falls and make your home more accessible.
More than Occupational Therapy
Our Physical Rehabilitation Center is also much more than just OT! We’re a comprehensive rehab hub right here in Southwest Oklahoma. We’ve got a fantastic crew covering all the bases, including:
Physical Therapy: Helping you get moving better, reduce pain, and improve your strength and balance.
Speech-Language Pathology: Assisting with communication, swallowing, and voice issues.
Cardiac Rehabilitation: Guiding you back to heart health after a cardiac event.
Sports Medicine: Getting our athletes back in the game stronger and healthier than before.
Wound Care: Providing specialized care to help those tough wounds heal.
Occupational Health: Focusing on keeping folks in the workplace safe and healthy.
A Collaborative Effort
What makes our center really shine is our team approach. We’ve got physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and more, all working together under the guidance of a board-certified physical medicine physician. It’s a collaborative effort, and that means a more well-rounded and effective recovery for you.
We know that everyone’s journey is unique. That’s why each of our specialists works closely with your doctor to create a treatment plan that’s tailored just for you. We’ll track your progress and adjust things as you hit those recovery milestones – because seeing you get stronger and more independent is what drives us.
We’re Here For You
