FAQ

Occupational Therapy can be hard to describe as it encompasses a wide range of therapies across all life stages and settings. Simply put, Occupational Therapists assist people in resuming the activities they need to do and want to do after an injury or illness. These activities can be anything from taking care of themselves and others, returning to work, and resuming the fun things like sports and leisure activities.

Occupational Therapy is a regulated medical profession that ensures its members are registered, competent, and in good standing with the provincial college.
