Occupational Therapy in Crown Point, IN

Empowering Crown Point residents to regain independence and enjoy local activities—like gardening, golfing, or strolling around Lemon Lake Park—through personalized occupational therapy and hand therapy at Athletico Physical Therapy.

Nestled in the heart of Northwest Indiana, Crown Point is a community that prides itself on active living and hometown spirit. From the bustling square and its seasonal festivals to walks around Lemon Lake Park or prepping your garden in the spring thaw, life here is full of movement. But when shoulder pain, a hand injury, or difficulty with daily activities gets in the way, it can make even the simplest joys—like buttoning a coat before a snowy stroll or carrying groceries back to your car—feel out of reach. That’s where occupational therapy comes in. At Athletico Physical Therapy – Crown Point, our occupational therapists are here to help you regain independence, adapt to life’s changes, and get back to enjoying everything Crown Point has to offer.

Whether you’re recovering from a hand or upper extremity injury, managing arthritis, or facing challenges after an illness, our focus is on practical solutions that fit your everyday needs. If you’ve searched for an “occupational therapist near me” or wondered how hand therapy or shoulder therapy could help, you’re in the right place. Our team specializes in upper extremity therapy, providing guidance and hands-on care for everything from fine motor skills to complex shoulder pain.
