If you are recovering from an illness or injury that makes it difficult
for you to do your job or schoolwork, care for yourself, complete household
chores, or move around and participate in daily activities, your doctor
may recommend occupational therapy.
The trained and licensed occupational therapists at Archbold's outpatient
therapy locations in Thomasville, Cairo, Camilla and Quitman can help
patients participate in their desired occupations with the therapeutic
use of everyday activities.

Why Is Occupational Therapy Important?
Occupational therapy (OT) is a branch of healthcare that helps people of
all ages regain independence in their lives. Occupational therapists use
everyday activities, exercises, and other therapies to help people address
barriers that affect their emotional, social, and physical needs.
Occupational therapists use customized treatment plans that help patients:
Develop fine motor skills so they can grasp and release objects with their
hands or develop good handwriting or computer skills
Improve hand-eye coordination
Master basic life skills such as bathing, dressing, brushing teeth, and
feeding themselves at mealtime
Learn positive behaviors and social skills related to how they manage anger
and frustration
Obtain assistive devices and medical equipment (wheelchairs, bathing equipment,
communication aids, etc) that can help them perform daily tasks and improve mobility
What Conditions Can Be Treated with Occupational Therapy?
People of all ages and various conditions can benefit from occupational therapy.
Some of the conditions commonly treated with occupational therapy include:
Birth injuries or birth defects
Sensory processing disorders
