Do the Things That Matter Most—At Every Age

Occupational Therapy (OT) is about more than recovery—it’s about helping people participate in everyday life with greater independence, safety and confidence.

From kids to older adults, OT supports the skills needed for daily routines at home, school, work, and in the community.

At Emplify Health by Gundersen, our occupational therapists work with patients of all ages to improve function and quality of life by addressing:

Fine motor skills and coordination
Balance, endurance and safe mobility
Recovery after injury, surgery or stroke
Cognitive and vision challenges that affect daily tasks
Self-care skills like dressing, bathing and grooming
Home safety and adaptive strategies to support independence
Whether your goal is improving daily routines or gaining skills for greater independence, OT helps you build practical solutions for real life.

If everyday activities have become difficult, we’re here to help.
