What Is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy (OT) helps people of all ages regain independence, comfort, and confidence in performing daily activities. Whether recovering from injury, living with a chronic condition, or adapting to age-related changes, occupational therapy focuses on what matters most — helping you participate fully in work, home, and community life.


At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, our licensed occupational therapists design individualized programs that improve strength, coordination, and functional ability. We help patients rebuild essential life skills such as dressing, cooking, driving, or returning to work, while also teaching strategies to conserve energy, adapt environments, and prevent injury.


We proudly offer occupational therapy services at our Closter, Park Ridge, and Montvale locations, serving patients throughout Bergen County, NJ.

How Occupational Therapy Works

Occupational therapy focuses on enabling patients to perform daily activities safely and confidently, even when facing physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges.

During your first visit, your therapist will:

  • Review your medical history and lifestyle goals
  • Assess movement, coordination, balance, posture, and fine motor skills
  • Identify challenges that interfere with daily activities

Develop a customized plan focused on practical skills, adaptive tools, and ergonomic strategies

Depending on your needs, therapy may include:
  • Strength and mobility exercises for daily function
  • Neuromuscular retraining for coordination and balance
  • Hand and upper extremity therapy after injury or surgery
  • Cognitive and perceptual training for memory, attention, or problem-solving
  • Adaptive equipment recommendations to support independence at home or work
Each session is personalized to help you achieve meaningful improvements in daily living.

Conditions Treated With Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapists work with patients of all ages to improve physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. Common conditions treated include:

  • Stroke and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis
  • Orthopedic injuries like fractures, arthritis, or post-surgical recovery
  • Chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders including back and shoulder conditions
  • Developmental and sensory processing disorders in children
  • Cognitive or functional decline due to aging, dementia, or brain injury
  • Work-related or repetitive strain injuries
  • Emotional or stress-related challenges impacting daily life

Whether your goal is to recover from surgery, adapt to a new diagnosis, or maintain independence as you age, occupational therapy provides tools and support to help you live more fully.
