Occupational therapy works to improve health and well-being. Occupational therapists are health professionals who help people of all ages prevent, lessen, or adapt to disabilities by using occupations and meaningful activities with specific goals. The tasks can be as simple as taking a bath or getting dressed or as complicated as using a computer with different control switches. ##### WHAT TO EXPECT ## What to Expect from Occupational Therapy The goal of occupational therapy is to help patients get back to normal function and mobility as quickly, easily, and safely as possible after they get home. Successfully regaining lost skills gives patients and their loved ones more freedom and a better quality of life. Occupational services can include many things, including but not limited to the following: ![massage](https://carolinaona.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/massage.png "Occupational Therapy") #### Hand Therapy Treats hand or upper arm injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, a stroke, tennis elbow, or an accident. ![splint](https://carolinaona.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/splint.png "Occupational Therapy") #### Splints Making these can be essential to getting better after an injury or surgery.
