Occupational Therapy

It is crucial that these achievements transfer into your daily life once therapy is over.  Odom OTs collaborate with your caregivers and family members to ensure that they have the proper education, training and tools to maintain your range of motion, pain management, strength, mobility techniques, and day-to-day strategies in order to keep you doing what matters most to you. 

Odom Occupational Therapists (OTs) are experts at assessing your cognitive abilities, and then matching your environment to best meet your needs.  Odom OTs collaborate with your care team to identify the types of services and assistance that you need, advocating for your independence while ensuring your safety.  Baseline measures are often taken in order to quickly and easily detect if changes have occurred, and when identified, OTs coordinate services accordingly. 

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is progressive in nature, meaning its symptoms worsen over time.  However, Odom Therapists can help in any stage.  They can provide education when first given the diagnosis, proactively build your stamina and activity tolerance, teach energy conservation strategies, and guide you in managing supplemental oxygen.  Our goal is to maintain your highest quality of life, and allow you to continue to do the things most important to you.

Odom Therapists are specially trained to work with clients with dementia, meeting them where they are at to optimize their quality of life.  Odom Occupational Therapists are experts at reducing behaviors, maximizing skills for independence, analyzing and grading sensory skills and activities, and collaborating with caregivers to develop successful strategies for care. Odom Rehab offers unparalleled dementia programming: SensAbility was created and is implemented by Odom Therapists, and is designed to stimulate intact abilities through sensory processes to optimize a resident’s care. 

Edema can be caused by a myriad of factors.  Odom Occupational Therapists (OTs) help identify the cause of the edema and collaborate with your care team to address it at its source.  OTs utilize tools like compression garments, employ strategies for edema reductions, and make adaptations to your environment to reduce or eliminate the functional disruptions caused by edema. 

Odom Occupational Therapists utilize a holistic approach to address strength and mobility, modify the environment, and perform task analysis to reduce falls and keep you safe.

8 million seniors fall each year.  Often, these falls occur within the first 30 days of moving into a new home.  Odom Rehab developed a unique program, The Right Fit℠, designed to improve your safety within your home.  The program follows a 100-point checklist, and sets you up for success by assessing your whole environment, from the organization of your closet or the set up of your furniture, to your ability to access your favorite chair or get in and out of the shower.  Medicare recognizes the importance of being proactive when it comes to your health and safety.  As such, your Part B benefits cover The Right Fit, as well as subsequent therapy interventions to address any noted concerns. Odom Rehab guarantees a therapist assessment within 48 hours of first contact to ensure you feel safe in your own home. 

According to the CDC, there are several factors related to falls, but one of the top contributing factors is vision problems.  Odom Occupational Therapists are experts at assessing your vision, and then modifying your environment to accommodate your specific vision deficits.  Odom therapists also connect you with community resources to tap into all that is available to you. 

Pain is incredibly complex, impacted by physical stimuli, but also by things like stress, living environment, and mental state.  At Odom Rehab, we believe in “Know Pain, Know Gain”.  We teach you about your pain- why it exists, what it is telling you, and how to relieve it.  Odom therapists address pain from all angles, including stretching, manual therapy, exercise, breathing techniques, mindfulness, yoga, aerobic fitness, splinting, relaxation, pool therapy, and more. 

Power mobility devices give individuals a wonderful opportunity to move about their extended community.  Odom Occupational Therapists provide pre-driving assessments, including things like the Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (MVPT), as well as active driving assessments and training, to ensure that power mobility equipment is used safely and appropriately in all scenarios.
