Occupational Therapy
The goal of occupational therapy is to ensure a patient regains their independence after serious injury or illness. Such issues can prevent them from performing normal daily tasks, including dressing or bathing.
At Central Queens Rehabilitation & Nursing Center in Queens, NY, our holistic care helps patients relearn these skills. The ability to perform such tasks allows them to participate in their usual daily life with minimal assistance.
These exercises are gentle, with gradual expansion for safe and effective results. During this time, occupational therapists monitor patients performing the exercises. They also offer motivation for patients to quickly regain their ability to care for themselves.
Occupational therapy specialists are trained to understand the changes these injuries and illnesses cause to the body. They use this knowledge to incorporate the proper equipment and to overcome such changes.
At Central Queens Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, our rehabilitation therapy focuses on a patient’s normal daily activities. These include eating, drinking, grooming, and hygiene, with the goal of helping individuals regain their abilities when performing such tasks alone.
As well as restoring a patient’s motor skills and coordination, occupational therapy rebuilds confidence. This ensures individuals regain their previous life skills and their independence.
