Occupational Therapy

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a skilled intervention that is intended for children and adults with health conditions that significantly affect their ability to manage their daily lives and need to regain their independence.

Indiana Physical Therapy’s occupational therapists uses the latest therapeutic techniques to help patients with physical and cognitive deficits to perform the activities of daily living (ADLs). We specialize in the evaluation and treatment of adults as well as pediatrics with a variety of conditions.
