What is occupational therapy, and how does it help with recovery? - #14656
I recently heard about occupational therapy, but I don’t fully understand how it works. I know it’s different from physical therapy, but what exactly does an occupational therapist do? What conditions or injuries require occupational therapy? I read that it helps people regain daily function after an injury or illness, but does it only focus on physical rehabilitation, or does it also help with mental and cognitive challenges? Also, is occupational therapy just for older adults recovering from strokes, or can younger people benefit from it too? What are some common exercises or treatments used in occupational therapy? Are there natural or holistic approaches that work alongside it, such as yoga or Ayurvedic techniques for improving coordination and mobility? If anyone has undergone occupational therapy, what was your experience like? How long did it take to see improvement, and what types of activities helped the most?
