How Can Occupational Therapy Help You Do the Things You Love!

How Can Occupational Therapy Help You Do the Things You Love!

One of the most important therapy services that Pioneer Trace Healthcare & Rehabilitation offers is our occupational therapy. This is a therapy that is used to help you relearn the skills that you may have lost due to an illness or an injury that you have sustained. Here are some of the many ways that our Rehabilitation Services in Flemingsburg, Kentucky can assist you today.

The main purpose of our occupational therapy services is to help restore your ability to live a normal life. This means providing you with the skills you need to get back doing the many things you love to do. What are these functions?

  • Walking: One of the most important daily functions is our ability to walk. It can be easy to lose this ability if you become injured or are in a hospital bed for months at a time. Through a combination of physical and occupational therapy, we are able to help you slowly regain your ability to walk once again.

  • Hand Functions: If your hands were injured, then it can be difficult to use them. Things like holding a cup or typing on a keyboard can become impossible tasks. Through occupational therapy, we can help you slowly regain the ability to use your hands properly. This can take a while, but we will no doubt get you back to normal functionality eventually.

  • Eating: If you suffered a stroke, then you may not even have the ability to feed yourself for some time. Through careful occupational therapy, we can help you regain the ability to use your arms and hands while improving your hand eye coordination. This is all in an effort to help you relearn the ability to eat on your own without assistance or support.

Basically, the main purpose of this service is to help you regain your independence so you can go back to the life you love as soon as possible. We have many services that can help you, so call us at 606-845-2131 to inquire about what can we help you with.
