Overview
About Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists look closely at the daily tasks that have become tiring or tricky and help you find safer, easier ways to handle them. That might mean practicing a new technique, setting up your bathroom more safely, or using helpful tools like a reacher, shower bench, or button hook.
Occupational therapy is provided by arrangement with trusted, licensed therapy partners and coordinated by Royal as part of your overall plan of care.

Physical therapy focuses on overall strength, balance, and walking from place to place. Occupational therapy focuses on what you do once you get there, like showering safely, buttoning a shirt, or preparing breakfast.
