Customizing Your Therapy
Kirby Medical Center’s occupational therapy team begins by providing
each patient with a comprehensive evaluation, followed by education regarding
the diagnosis, recovery, and injury prevention. Your therapist may ask
questions about your home and daily routine so that they can design a
treatment plan best suited to maximize independence and function at home
or work. They may also recommend adaptations you can make to your home
in order to accomplish certain tasks more easily.
If you have a job you need to get back to, tell your therapist what it
usually entails so they can design the therapy with exercises that can help you.
