Occupational Therapy at Canadian Medical Center

At Canadian Medical Center, our Occupational Therapy department is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals of all ages through personalized and evidence-based therapeutic interventions.

About Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is a client-centered health profession focused on promoting health and well-being through occupation. It involves the therapeutic use of everyday activities to help individuals develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and working. Our occupational therapists work with patients who have physical, sensory, or cognitive challenges to help them perform tasks independently and efficiently.

Our Approach

We believe in a holistic approach to occupational therapy that considers the physical, emotional, and social aspects of well-being. Our goal is to empower patients by providing personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs and goals. We work collaboratively with patients, families, and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive and integrated care.
