What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy is about helping you do the things that matter most—whether that’s typing comfortably at your office downtown, gardening in your backyard, or lifting groceries after a trip to the local farmers market. Our occupational therapists (OTs) specialize in restoring movement, strength, and function to your hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders. We focus on practical, hands-on solutions tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle in Chicago, so you can return to your favorite activities without hesitation.

Who Benefits from Occupational Therapy?

Chicagoans are constantly on the move, and life here can put unique stresses on your upper extremities. Occupational Therapy is ideal if you:

  • Struggle with hand pain or stiffness from repetitive work, whether you’re typing in an office or creating art at a local studio
  • Have difficulty with daily tasks like buttoning shirts, gripping winter gloves, or carrying shopping bags
  • Are recovering from a sports injury, such as a sprained wrist or shoulder pain after a weekend softball game in Grant Park
  • Need specialized hand therapy after a fracture, tendon injury, or surgery
  • Experience shoulder discomfort from shoveling snow or raking leaves
  • Live with chronic conditions like arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome

Our team is skilled in providing hand therapy, shoulder therapy, and comprehensive upper extremity therapy, so you can get back to enjoying all that Chicago has to offer.
