Occupational Therapy St. Catharines
At LV Physiotherapy, occupational therapy is focused on helping you do the things that matter most—at home, at work, and in your community—safely, confidently, and with less effort.
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) helps you participate more fully in daily activities—or “occupations”—that are meaningful to you. These activities can include self-care, work tasks, household responsibilities, leisure activities, and community participation.
We don’t focus only on symptoms, occupational therapy looks at how physical abilities, cognition, environment, and routines interact. Treatment is designed to remove barriers, build capacity, and create sustainable strategies that support long-term independence.
Occupational Therapy at LV Physiotherapy: Focused on Daily Function
At LV Physiotherapy in St. Catharines, occupational therapy is highly individualized. We begin by understanding how your condition affects your day-to-day life and what goals are most important to you.
Your care may focus on:
- In-Home Safety Assessment: Assessing your home environment to identify potential safety and accessibility issues. This assessment may be completed following an injury or at any time a functional change occurs due to aging or health-related concerns.
- Ergonomic Assessments: We evaluate your work environment and suggest modifications to prevent injuries and enhance comfort and productivity.
- Return to Driving Screening: Evaluating your physical, visual perceptual and cognitive abilities for returning to drive. We can help you navigate the Ministry of Ontario’s protocols for returning to drive following a medical event.
- Mobility Device Assessment and Recommendation: Assessing your need for a mobility device such as a walker or wheelchair and applying for community and provincial funding support on your behalf.
- Adaptive Techniques and Equipment: Learn new ways of performing tasks or utilize adaptive equipment to improve your independence at home or work.
- Cognitive Rehabilitation: Strategies to manage and improve cognitive challenges that may be affecting your work or daily activities.
- Hand Therapy: Customized exercises and treatments to improve the strength and dexterity of your hands and arms.
