What Is Occupational Therapy and How Can It Help You?

Occupational Therapy is all about empowering you to do the things that matter most. If you’re recovering from a hand injury, experiencing shoulder pain, or dealing with the effects of arthritis or repetitive strain, a licensed occupational therapist can help you regain strength, function, and confidence. Whether you need hand therapy after a slip on icy sidewalks, or upper extremity therapy to get back to gardening in the spring, our team is here to guide your recovery.

Our approach is highly personalized. We focus on understanding your goals—like returning to work, playing with your grandkids, or simply being able to button your coat on a chilly Wauwatosa morning. Occupational Therapy is more than just exercises; it’s about helping you adapt, heal, and thrive in your daily life.
