Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is more than just addressing an injury. At Heart of Texas Physical Therapy, our Waco, TX occupational therapists focus on the functional needs of each patient by implementing certain exercises and activities that promote physical and psychological well-being. Occupational therapy is a form of treatment that is deeply rooted in science and supported by numerous medical journals. Our Waco, TX occupational therapists work hard to help people recover from injuries and regain functional skills. Occupational therapy can benefit people of all ages, from helping children with disabilities participate in school and social arenas to helping seniors improve their physical and cognitive health. At Heart of Texas Physical Therapy, our occupational therapy plans include: -An evaluation of outcomes to determine if goals were met and to make changes to the plan if needed. -Customized intervention activities to improve daily tasks and activities for the patient. -An individual evaluation to determine patient goals. According to the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), in addition to dealing with an individual’s physical well-being, Occupational Therapy practitioners address psychological, social, and environmental factors that may hinder an individual’s functioning in different ways. For example, occupational therapy for a young patient may include using a special tool to make cupcakes at home. If an adaptation to a utensil needs to be fashioned, an occupational therapist will do it. This unique approach makes occupational therapy a vital part of health care.
