Occupational Therapy at Performance Rehabilitation

At Performance Rehabilitation & Regenerative Medicine, Occupational Therapy is fundamentally different than any stand-alone clinics.  All of our locations have doctorate level physicians that are an integral component in our interdisciplinary team approach to non-surgical orthopedic treatment and is under the direct supervision of a medical physician, who has a specialty in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.

At the outset of treatment, one of our highly trained occupational therapists will perform an initial comprehensive examination and consultation. In addition to working with you to establish clear, personal goals for your treatment, their findings and treatment recommendations will be discussed with you, and our medical rehabilitation team, in a shared decision-making model of patient care. This collaboration ensures that patient care is delivered in a controlled, timely manner, resulting in faster recovery and return to normal activities.
