Occupational Therapy in Manchester
Occupational Therapy for Daily Living
At Baxter Therapy, we're dedicated to helping you regain your strength and live a more active, pain-free life. We understand that challenges with daily tasks due to injury, surgery, or a chronic condition can be frustrating. Our approach to occupational therapy is deeply personal, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way. Within our unique, retreat-like atmosphere, we focus on the activities that matter most to you, working together to help you move better, feel your best, and confidently get back to doing what you love.
Specialized Hand Therapy for Intricate Care
The intricate functions of the hands are vital for nearly every daily task. We offer a dedicated focus on hand therapy to address conditions affecting the hands, wrists, and arms. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or dealing with a repetitive strain injury, our specialized expertise ensures you receive comprehensive care. We design personalized treatment plans to restore function, reduce pain, and improve your ability to interact with the world around you.
A Personalized Path to Surgical Recovery
Recovering from surgery is a journey, and our occupational therapists are here to guide you. We help you safely return to your daily routines by focusing on practical skills and movements. This can include learning how to dress, bathe, or cook while protecting your surgical site, as well as exercises to manage swelling and scarring. Our patient-focused care ensures your recovery plan is tailored specifically to your procedure, your home environment, and your personal goals for getting back to life.
Neurotherapy to Rebuild Connections
Following a neurological event like a stroke or brain injury, or for those with progressive conditions, neurotherapy is key to reclaiming independence. Our occupational therapists work on rebuilding the connections between the brain and body. We focus on improving cognitive skills, visual perception, and fine motor control to make daily activities more manageable. Our goal is to help you adapt and thrive by creating strategies that enhance your safety, function, and quality of life.
Managing Chronic Pain and Joint Issues
Living with chronic pain or joint conditions can impact every part of your day. Occupational therapy offers practical solutions to make life easier. We teach you strategies to modify activities, conserve energy, and protect your joints from further strain. By focusing on ergonomics and adaptive equipment, we help you find ways to continue with your work, hobbies, and household chores with less pain and greater confidence, empowering you to take back control from your condition.
