What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy is all about helping you do the things that matter most—whether that’s getting back to your favorite Prairie Village farmer’s market, playing with your grandkids at Harmon Park, or simply managing everyday tasks at home or work. Our occupational therapists focus on improving your ability to perform daily routines, especially if you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or living with chronic pain in your hands, wrists, elbows, or shoulders.

From hand therapy for that stubborn stiffness after a long winter, to shoulder therapy for aches that crop up after a summer of tennis or golf, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. If you’ve been searching for an “occupational therapist near me” who truly understands your Prairie Village lifestyle, you’ll find our approach is as personalized as it is effective.

How Occupational Therapy Helps You Thrive

Everyday Tasks, Made Easier

Our occupational therapists are experts in helping you return to the activities you love. Maybe buttoning a shirt has become difficult due to hand pain, or perhaps lifting groceries feels impossible because of shoulder discomfort. We’ll work with you to restore strength, flexibility, and coordination, so you can get back to living life on your terms.

Specialized Hand and Upper Extremity Therapy

Hand injuries and upper extremity conditions are common, especially in communities like Prairie Village where gardening, home projects, and recreational sports are part of daily life. Our hand therapists (sometimes called hand OTs) use advanced techniques to address issues from carpal tunnel to tendon injuries, arthritis, and repetitive strain. If you’re struggling with fine motor skills or grip strength, our targeted hand therapy can make a real difference.
