Occupational Therapy

Inpatient and outpatient occupational therapy services are provided at the Santa Fe campus. Occupational therapists work with fine motor skills such as writing and eating and with activities of daily living like dressing, bathing and toileting.

We make adaptive equipment and fabricate splints to protect an injury and enhance functioning. Common diagnoses are hand and arm injuries, arthritis, head injury and stroke. We also work with people with vision problems to help them make changes to their environment so it is more functional, visible and safe. We can also help make work sites safer from an ergonomic standpoint to reduce repetitive motion injuries. A physician's referral is needed for therapy. Call 785-452-6359 for more information.

Another program we offer is vestibular rehabilitation. Often dizziness puts someone at risk of falling and keeps them from their normal activities. After special testing, we can determine what special exercises and positioning techniques are needed to help resolve the dizziness. For information about this program, call 785-452-6062.
