You use your hands and arms for most of your day
You want your desk, tools or kitchen set up to suit you

Questions about this visit
How is this different from physical therapy?
Physical therapy looks at how your body moves. Occupational therapy looks at how you do the tasks of your day. Many people see both.
Can you come to my workspace?
We can look at photos of your desk or tools during the visit. We do not travel to workplaces.
