Golden Valley Area Senior Occupational Therapy 

Occupational therapy is similar to physical therapy. However, the main difference is that occupational therapy focuses on cognitive skills and fine motor skills, to help the injured or otherwise impaired person perform tasks they consider meaningful. Physical therapy, on the other hand, primarily focuses on gross motor function. Therefore, our outpatient rehabilitation occupational therapy is more likely to include self-care routines such as dressing and washing oneself, and skills like writing or using simple tools that involve fine motor skills.

Our senior occupational therapists in Golden Valley evaluate patients’ needs and determine their range of motion, strength, and balance. With these results, they can develop a course of treatment to assist recovery during their outpatient rehabilitation.

Senior Occupational Therapists provide:

• Pain management via heat, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound.
• Improvements to upper body function, motion coordination, and fine motor skills.
• Techniques for self-care, home management, and returning to a community.
• And much more.

We can advise you on how to exercise at home and assess potential hazards in your environment. This will not only help you recover, but also lower the risk of a repeat incident causing injury and the need for additional outpatient rehabilitation services.

Golden Valley Area Physical Therapy for Seniors

Physical therapy is mainly concerned with restoring gross motor function. As with other types of treatment, a specialist will conduct a physical exam and evaluation to assess posture, joint motion, and flexibility, among other criteria. Following a diagnosis, specialists develop a physical therapy treatment plan to help a patient:

• Rebuild strength
• Enhance endurance
• Retrain muscles
• Train for balance
• Improve gait and posture

As with our senior occupational therapists, our physical therapists can assess risks and develop a home exercise plan for ongoing improvement.

Speech Therapy

Our speech therapists begin by assessing speech disorders and communication problems to determine which techniques will be most effective in each case. Speech therapy can help those having difficulty finding words and expressing themselves following an injury, surgery, or another issue, as well as people who are no longer articulating correctly or have problems swallowing. 

We help our patients that are having speech difficulties or issues with language comprehension for various reasons. Our team assists people following a stroke, and will work with them on reading and writing projects, as well as improving cognitive deficits, including improving memory, judgment, and problem-solving.
