Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy is therapy based on engagement in meaningful activities of daily life (such as self-care skills, education, work, or social interaction) especially to enable or encourage participation in such activities despite impairments or limitations in physical or mental functioning.

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy helps patients reduce pain and preserve, enhance, or restore movement and physical function impaired or threatened by disease, injury, or disability. Physical therapists utilize therapeutic exercise, physical modalities (such as massage and electrotherapy), assistive devices, and provide patient education and training. In many cases physical therapy prevents the need for expensive surgery and often reduces the need for prescription medication and their side effects.

Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy is the treatment of speech defects, disorders, and swallowing difficulties; especially through use of exercises and audio-visual aids that develop new speech habits. This type of therapy can be especially beneficial for children with developmental delays or adults with brain damage.

Therapeutic Taping

Therapeutic taping can be used to apply compression to promote recovery, or decompression to relieve pain and swelling. When applied over a stretched muscle, the tape lifts the skin, accelerating blood flow to increase the amount of oxygen that supplies the muscles, which can also reduce fatigue. The technique can also promote lymph drainage to remove toxins produced by the body. These effects can be powerful and greatly beneficial.
