Empire Therapy - Helping You Achieve Your Goals
Adult Occupational Therapy (OT)
Adult Occupational Therapy helps people do everyday tasks after an illness, injury, or surgery. Empire’s Occupational Therapists help assist with mental health, behavior management, incontinence, chronic pain, anxiety, and emotional regulation.
Incorporating Bodywork for Healing:
- Primitive Reflex Integration: Retained primitive reflexes can impact things like sleep, concentration, vision, and movement. Specialized therapeutic exercises can help integrate these reflexes, which improves coordination, vision, and fine motor skills to make daily tasks easier.
