Occupational therapy services are provided by a board-certified state-licensed occupational therapist in the State of Connecticut and focused on improving a client’s ability to safely and effectively perform meaningful daily activities related to self-care, work, community participation and more... Occupational therapy addresses physical discomfort and pain through evaluation and intervention related to movement patterns, posture, strength, flexibility, endurance, habits, routines, and environmental or task-related demands. Interventions may include therapeutic activities and exercises, ergonomics, adaptive strategies, pain management techniques, and education to sup port functional performance and safety.

As part of occupational therapy services, the occupational therapist may review the functional impact of prescribed medications and nutritional factors on pain, alertness, coordination, endurance, cognition, and safety during daily activities.

Concerns related to medications or nutritional needs are referred to the appropriate licensed provider, including the prescribing physician, pharmacist, or registered dietitian.
