At UPMC Chautauqua, our goal is to help you regain independence in daily life, from getting dressed, to making meals, to driving a car.
Our occupational therapists assess your recovery and progress to see if you have any functional limits.
And if impairments — such as limited joint motion or muscle strength — can't fully heal, we'll work with you to design creative solutions. We'll also give you the tools you need to live a more productive and independent life.
