Occupational Therapy in Shelby Charter Township, MI

Rediscovering the joys of an active Shelby Charter Township lifestyle—like golfing at Cherry Creek, walking the Macomb Orchard Trail, or gardening at home—with the help of personalized occupational therapy at Athletico Physical Therapy.

Embracing Everyday Life in Shelby Charter Township

Life in Shelby Charter Township, MI is full of activity, from enjoying the vibrant fall colors on the Macomb Orchard Trail to shoveling snow in the winter, playing a round of golf in the spring, or tending to your backyard garden in the summer. It’s a community where people work hard, stay active, and value their independence—whether that means lifting grandkids at the park, swinging a tennis racket at River Bends, or simply getting out to enjoy the local festivals. But when pain, injury, or limited movement in your hands, wrists, arms, or shoulders gets in the way, even the simplest tasks can feel overwhelming. That’s where Occupational Therapy at Athletico Physical Therapy – Shelby Township steps in, helping you regain the skills and strength you need to enjoy every season and every moment.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or noticing that everyday tasks have become more challenging, our occupational therapists provide the support and expertise you need. From specialized hand therapy for gardeners and crafters, to upper extremity therapy for those tackling Michigan’s winter chores, our approach is personalized and goal-oriented.
