  1. Occupational therapy for adults (en-US)

    Occupational therapy for adults is a healthcare service that helps people participate in everyday activities that matter to them—such as self-care, work, caregiving, hobbies, and community life. Therapists assess how physical, cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors affect daily functioning, then create practical, individualized strategies to improve independence and quality of life.

  2. What it may include

    Common areas include rehabilitation after injury or illness (e.g., stroke, orthopedic conditions), managing chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis, multiple sclerosis), hand and upper-limb therapy, cognitive support for attention and memory challenges, fatigue and energy-conservation planning, and home/work modifications for safety and accessibility. Interventions may involve therapeutic exercises, task-specific training, adaptive equipment recommendations, skills practice, and caregiver education.

  3. Professional-care note + when to seek help

    Professional-care note: Occupational therapy is provided by licensed occupational therapists (and, where applicable, occupational therapy assistants) who tailor treatment to your medical history, goals, and safety needs. If you have sudden weakness, severe pain, new neurological symptoms, or safety concerns at home, seek urgent medical evaluation rather than relying on therapy alone.
