Our Approach

During your first session, our occupational therapist will asses your case. Depending on your assessment, you and the occupational therapist will develop a treatment plan based on your specific needs.

Treatments may include manual based therapy, modalities including laser, ultrasound, heat, cryotherapy and paraffin wax, and exercise therapy. 

If appropriate, the occupational therapist may also opt to fabricate a custom splint for you.

In some cases, treatment collaboration with other providers may be helpful. This will be discussed with you where appropriate.

FAQs About Occupational Therapy

What is occupational therapy?

Occupational therapy is a health profession that works to enable patients to return to full functional tasks involved in their everyday life. Occupational therapists are health professionals licensed through their provincial college and hold a master’s degree in occupational therapy, which is required to enter the profession.

Do I need a referral?

You do not need a direct referral for occupational therapy. However, if you have insurance coverage for OT, your provider may request one. If you are already seeking treatment with another type of provider, such as physiotherapy, they may also consider referring you depending on your needs.
