I cannot say enough good things about this practice. This was my first time coming and I had some issues going on with my toe. It was so sore that couldn’t even touch it and how I dreaded going in because the pain was so severe. When I arrived you can feel positive vibes there. From the girls up front desk to the nurse in the back. I had awesome nurse and when I met Dr. Rafii he was awesome. He took the time to listen about the trauma in the past that was done to that right foot and the 2 surgeries that I had on the right ankle. He knew right away what was going on and when in clipped everything and pain free. I got so much relief. I just want to thank the wonderful staff there for you loving care. You guys are the best.

Occupational Therapy FAQs

What does occupational therapy help with?

Occupational therapy helps patients improve the physical skills needed for daily life. Skills can include reaching, lifting, gripping, dressing, cooking, writing, and returning to work or hobbies after injury or surgery. It is especially useful for people with pain, weakness, stiffness, poor coordination, or reduced range of motion that can make everyday tasks difficult. 

No, occupational therapy is often associated with the hands and wrists, but it can also help with shoulder, elbow, and upper-extremity conditions that affect function. At Dynamic Medical Centers, occupational therapy supports patients with a broader range of orthopedic concerns. The goal is to improve the ability to perform daily tasks safely, comfortably, and independently.

Occupational therapy focuses on helping patients perform daily activities and regain practical function, while physical therapy more often emphasizes movement, strength, balance, and mobility. Both can overlap, and many patients benefit from each. At Dynamic Medical Centers, the two services may work together to support recovery from injury, surgery, or chronic pain in a coordinated way. 

The length of occupational therapy varies depending on the condition, severity of symptoms, and the patient’s goals. Some people improve in a few weeks, while others may need longer-term care for recovery after surgery or more complex injuries. Your occupational therapist will outline a plan based on your progress and adjust treatment as needed to support steady improvement.
