April is Occupational Health Month, which means it is a great time to thank your occupational therapist and occupational therapy assistants. Through their work they give customized and holistic assistance to those in need. The specialized support they give to children with disabilities and to people recovering from injuries is truly remarkable. The work of occupational therapist allows others to live life to the fullest.
Here at Prairie Lakes Healthcare System, our occupational therapist help a wide variety of patients, but they also specialize in Lymphedema Management. Lymphedema is the accumulation of lymphatic fluid that collects in the tissue and causes swelling in limbs and other places of the body. Our staff members are certified in Manual Lymph Drainage and Complete Decongestive Therapy techniques.
Occupational therapists are faced with unique cases on a daily basis and treat each patient with their own specific needs. Please take the time to thank your occupational therapist as they help you through your rehabilitation journey and allow you to live your life to the fullest.
