MDC Healthcare’s therapists evaluate your family member’s needs and suggest the treatment they need to remain independent and healthy. While our occupational therapy and physical therapy programs have many similarities, there are a few distinctions that set them apart.
Occupational therapists work with clients to help them improve their ability to perform the activities of daily living as independently as possible. This is done most often by implementing assistive devices or developing the skills of the patient. MDC Healthcare’s occupational therapists can help your loved one maintain or strengthen their fine motor skills, which are the small movements you make with your upper body. Fine motor skills are involved with tasks like eating, brushing teeth, cutting food, dressing, and handling a phone.

Physical therapists focus on strengthening a patient’s body and improving their ability to move without pain or discomfort. They’re movement experts who enhance a patient’s quality of life through education and exercise programs. Physical therapy is all about restoring the coordination of large body parts like the arms and legs. Our caregivers promote physical capability and independence while striving to prevent reinjury.
