Being unable to complete daily tasks can be frustrating and discouraging, especially following an injury, illness or surgery. Occupational therapists at Palo Alto Medical Foundation work with you to develop, restore or maintain the skills you need to regain independence.

Highly-trained occupational therapists provide training for daily activities such as dressing, bathing, writing or cooking. We create personalized goals for improving your fine motor skills and strengthening and improving the function of your arms, forearms and hands. Your occupational therapist can also help you learn how to use adaptive devices to help you complete necessary tasks.
