Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy is a method of treatment and rehabilitation based on the targeted use of various forms of work activity. The goal of occupational therapy is to activate and restore impaired or lost physical, mental and social functions of a person.

Occupational therapy is used in the treatment of various diseases and injuries, including diseases of the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, as well as in psychiatry and addiction medicine. The selection of work activities is carried out strictly individually, taking into account the diagnosis, functional disorders and interests of the patient.

Occupational therapy can include different types of activities - from simple manual training to complex technical and creative work. The main thing is that the activity performed is feasible for the patient and contributes to the restoration of his abilities. Occupational therapy is usually carried out under the guidance of a specialist - an occupational therapist, who develops a rehabilitation program and monitors its implementation.

Thus, occupational therapy is an important component of comprehensive rehabilitation, allowing a person to return to an active and fulfilling life. Properly selected workloads help improve the general condition and mood of patients.
