Orlando Occupational Therapy

December 18, 2014

Many people may not realize it, by most types of physical or occupational therapy can be done in the privacy of your home. Not only is it more convenient for those needing such services, it’s usually less expensive as well. If you or a loved one are in need of physical or mental rehabilitation, you’ve come to the right place, we offer the best Orlando occupational therapy services in the area.

For most people, the first step in rehabilitation therapy is the administration of an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) test. It’s a means for a therapist to determine the types of therapy needed. At BrightStar Care, we have staff who are qualified to administer such tests and are compassionate as well. We care deeply about each and every patient who comes to us seeking treatment and assistance. Once needs have been assessed, we can set up a plan of treatment, designed specifically for the person who needs it. We understand that people have different needs, just as they have different types of disabilities or levels of pain. The plan is put together by our licensed staff and it will reflect not just physical needs, but emotional needs as well. Once a plan has been put together and approved by both the person needing care and our staff, a schedule can be drawn up denoting days and times when one of our licensed therapists can come to your home to work with you.

Something else many people may not realize is that Orlando occupational therapy can often help people suffering from disabilities that they perceive as permanent. As an example, we’ve found that minor impairments due to normal aging that make driving difficult can sometimes be overcome with a specialized type of therapy approach called task analysis. Task analysis can be used to help improve acuity, as well as motor and physical skills related to the hands, arms, feet, or legs.

BrightStar Care is dedicated to helping people live their lives to the fullest extent possible, whether it’s offering therapies to help overcome mental or physical disabilities that occur due to natural aging, accident, illness, or birth defects, or through other in-home health care needs, our mission is help make the lives of others more fulfilling.
