In medical terms, OT commonly stands for “Occupational Therapy.” This is a type of therapy aimed at helping individuals develop, recover, or maintain daily living and work skills. Occupational therapists work with patients who have physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities to improve their ability to perform tasks in their daily lives.
Occupational therapy can involve various activities, such as helping a patient regain their strength and coordination after an injury, teaching a patient how to use assistive devices, or adapting a workplace for someone with a disability. The goal of OT is not just to treat a condition but to enhance the overall quality of life for the individual.
