The Center For Physical Therapy: Occupational Therapy

Patients in need of an Occupational Therapist in the Chicago suburbs have experienced that The Center for Physical Therapy is their caring partner. The Center For Physical Therapy: Occupational Therapy Illinois focuses on restoring the ability to carry out essential tasks at home, school, play or in the workplace. An Occupational Therapist works with people who have elbow and hand injuries. We use various treatments to develop, recover or maintain the daily living and work skills of our patients. From teaching our patients how to use a computer to caring for daily needs, we partner with you or the patient with care and compassion. We recommend physical exercises that can increase strength and dexterity, coordination and problem solving skills.

Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy

Sometimes the lines between occupational therapy and physical therapy get blurred, and it can be confusing to understand their differences and how each are used to rehabilitate patients. An occupational therapist (OT) and a physical therapist (PT) both assist patients in regaining the ability to perform everyday functions. However, while OTs and PTs may work together in many settings, these healthcare professionals practice two distinct kinds of therapy.

For those with permanent disabilities, The Center For Physical Therapy: Occupational Therapy Illinois will partner in demonstrating the use of equipment, eating and dressing aids.
