OT is third in our 3-part series on the therapies most important to people with Parkinson’s. We covered physical therapy and speech therapy. If you haven’t listened to those two yet, please find episodes 49 and 51. They are very educational.
OT, of course, stands for Occupational Therapy. Wait, don’t stop listening. OT does not mean occupational training. It does mean therapy or treating patients how to recover and get back to doing their everyday activities. Occupational therapists like the one you’ll hear next listen to what activities of daily living you are struggling with and work with you to adapt and/or provide exercises to improve your abilities and live your best life with PD. Some common symptoms might be buttoning a shirt, cutting up food, handwriting or typing and brushing teeth. The good news is occupational therapists can and do help us with any and all of the struggles we come across on this journey. You just need to reach out.
For now, stay tuned to learn from the expert and hear a patient’s story.
