The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your living or working environment, daily routines, and specific functional limitations. From there, we design targeted interventions, which may include task modifications, strength and coordination exercises, and recommendations for adaptive equipment. During the intervention phase, you might learn new techniques for dressing or cooking, practice energy conservation strategies, or explore specialized tools to reduce physical strain. We also make recommendations for any home modifications, like installing grab bars in the bathroom or rearranging kitchen shelves, that can enhance safety and convenience. Our aim is to see you thriving in your everyday life, whether that’s in an office, a school, or at home with loved ones.
Suitable for individuals recovering from injury, managing disabilities, or experiencing age-related functional declines who want to maintain an active, self-reliant lifestyle. This includes people who have conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, or chronic pain that affect daily tasks. If you’re in Palm Beach County—Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Wellington, or Lake Worth—and need support with daily routines or work-related challenges, Occupational Therapy at Be On The Move can help you reclaim your independence.
How is occupational therapy different from physical therapy?
OT focuses on daily task function and adaptations, while PT focuses more on movement and mobility.
Do I need a referral for occupational therapy?
Some insurance plans require it. Ask your physician for a referral if needed. In FLorida a referral is required within 30 days of service.
Can occupational therapy help with hand or wrist injuries?
Yes. OT often addresses fine motor skills and grip strength, crucial for daily tasks.
What kind of assistive devices might I need?
Examples include adaptive utensils, reachers, dressing aids, and ergonomic tools, depending on your goals.
Is OT suitable for children?
Yes, pediatric occupational therapists work with children to develop or improve essential life skills.
How long does an OT program usually last?
It depends on individual goals and progress. Your therapist will provide a personalized treatment timeline.
Will I learn strategies to make my home more accessible?
Absolutely. Home modifications and accessibility advice are key components of occupational therapy.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming persistent pain can be. That’s why we’re here to help. Our caring team of physical therapists will listen to your concerns, create a custom treatment plan just for you, and work by your side every step of the way—so you can get back to living life on your terms.
