Help with the tasks that matter most
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy helps you manage the everyday tasks that matter most, from getting dressed and cooking to returning to work or school. It can support recovery after an injury, illness, or concussion, and help with chronic pain, disability, or changes in memory, mood, or energy. At Tall Tree, we look at your whole daily routine and work with you on practical next steps, often alongside other clinicians. Available from age 5 and up, in person, virtually, and in the community.
Occupational Therapy can help with:
-
Recovery and daily function after a concussion, stroke, or injury
Managing arthritis, chronic pain, or chronic fatigue
Support with MS or Parkinson's as they affect daily life
-
Routines and strategies for anxiety, depression, or PTSD
Tools for managing stress
Support for sleep and fatigue issues
-
Support for children with fine or gross motor delays
Help with learning or attention challenges
Support for memory loss, dementia, or sensory processing differences
-
Home assessments and equipment recommendations
Fall prevention strategies
Support returning to school, work, or daily activities after a setback

Follow-up visits build on your first assessment. Care may include hands-on strategies, home or workplace recommendations, or skill-building. Your plan can shift as your needs and progress change.
