About Turn Again Wellness
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy (OT) can help people of all ages with physical, sensory, or cognitive improvements. Depending on what you want to work on, OT can help you gain or regain independence in all areas of your life, and occupational therapists also help with barriers that affect a person's emotional, social, and physical needs. Often treating patients through the therapeutic use of everyday activities, OT helps you develop, recover, and improve, as well as maintain the skills needed for daily living and working. Jackie is a Registered & Licensed Occupational Therapist, and uses this experience to help Turn Again Wellness clients integrate the results of bodywork with their everyday activities.
