Occupational therapists<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

Occupational therapy is the use of specific activity exercises to treat, assist and maintain the physical, mental and psychological health of patients. It reduces and relieves the impact of developmental disorders or social function barriers on patients. Patients can get more independence in the daily life, thereby reintegrating into the family, work and community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Occupational therapists firstly use basic tests and do consultations to understand and analyze the patient’s daily life and obstacles. A set of physical, psychological, and social function exercises and treatment plans for patients’ cases will be formulated.
