About Occupational Therapy at Total Health Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Center in New Jersey

At Total Health in New Jersey, our OT clinic provides occupational therapy centered on each patient’s goals. Guided by New Jersey Pain Specialists, care typically includes:

  • Evaluation of an individual to determine the patient’s goals
  • Treatment plan: creating a customized intervention to improve the individual’s ability to participate in the everyday activities of life
  • Re-evaluation: to ensure the individual has achieved their goals and to adapt the treatment plan to continue on the upward path of achieving goals

Occupational therapy at Total Health in New Jersey also considers your home, work, or school environment. Your occupational therapist may recommend adaptive equipment—such as a shower chair or upper‑extremity splints—and train you in its safe, effective use, while offering guidance and education for family members and caregivers. As an accessible OT clinic, we tailor strategies to fit your routines and supports.

Collaboration is part of our model. Your occupational therapist coordinates with physical therapists, chiropractors, and medical doctors within the practice to create a holistic plan that builds independence, strength, and confidence. With New Jersey Pain Specialists oversight, occupational therapy integrates practical skills, graded activity, and environmental modifications to help you do more of what matters—safely and sustainably.
