Occupational therapists work in a unique way, in that we have experience in both physical health and mental health domains. There is a vast amount of research that explains the connection between body and mind, physical health and mental health and how stress impacts our experience of pain. Our job is to help people engage in their occupations, which can range from brushing your teeth, maintaining employment, going to the gym, parenting and everything in between that is important to you. If pain or stress is negatively impacting your life then we work with you to problem solve by adapting your environment, suggesting assistive equipment, educating you about your health choices and supporting you to implement strategies that might be more effective in managing stress and pain. Soft tissue therapists are also trained in hands on modalities such as myofascial techniques, massage techniques as well as, providing stretching and strengthening exercises programs.
