Driver's Rehabilitation

OT works with patients who are learning to drive, returning to drive following an illness/injury, or are experiencing a decline in physical, visual, or memory function to create a safe and effective driving plan. 

Our Practice Promise

Therapy SPOT – Bellaire is proud to offer hands-on care, working with the most current, research based, and cutting-edge techniques to help people from all ages recover from lost function, pain, lack of coordination, upper extremity/hand injuries, and difficulty with ADL performance. Our occupational therapists work with their patients throughout individual sessions which are customized to meet each patient’s unique needs. We work with patients on key issues related to independence in the area of activities of daily living such as grooming, dressing, toileting, feeding, and bathing. Underlying skills are addressed, as well as possible equipment recommendations, to improve the patient’s quality of life. Your occupational therapist will work with you to determine which exercises are most appropriate for you to progress toward your specific goals, keep you engaged, and challenge you just the right amount.

Caregiver Support

Here at Therapy SPOT – Bellaire caregiver education and participation is very important to us. It is essential for carryover of skills in the home and community environments. We like to include your loved ones in the therapeutic process so that they have a full understanding of what you are working on in therapy and receive guidance and training related to how to help you progress at home by applying your home exercise program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which diagnoses would benefit from OT treatment?

People with the following diagnoses or challenges may benefit from occupational therapy to address their functional needs: upper extremity fractures, tendinopathy and tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, brain tumors, brain injury, spinal cord injury, surgery, seizures, Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and so much more.

What is the difference between OT and PT?

OT and PT both work with patients of all ages on strengthening, exercise, and range of motion. However, OT maintains a strong focus on fine motor skills, hand use and coordination, activities of daily living, and functional activities. Many of our patients have both OT and PT needs and benefit from both services. Our OTs and PTs work very closely with each other to complement sessions and help you progress toward your goals.

What skills does occupational therapy address?

OT addresses underlying skills as well as functional activities. Underlying skills include range of motion, strength, coordination, etc. The resulting functional activities that are impacted and addressed include grasping coins, pouring a drink, cutting vegetables, dressing, showering safety, grooming, and so much more.

Where does the name occupational therapy come from anyway?!

Occupational therapy comes from OT’s focus on improving people’s ability to participate in daily activities that are important to them. We refer to these activities as ADLs or Activities of Daily Living. These activities are our occupations that fill each and every day of our lives. Occupations are individual for each person including their roles as an employer or employee, parent, spouse, child, sibling, caregiver, etc. Thinking about all of the skills that a person needs in order to participate in their daily occupations is what OTs do, so that you can be more functional and independent while performing all of your roles.
