What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) helps people recover the skills and abilities they need for everyday life. After a concussion, even simple activities—reading, screens, grocery stores, work tasks, driving, or being around noise and light—can feel overwhelming. OT offers practical, step-by-step strategies to help your brain and body heal while easing you back into the routines and activities that matter most.

How OT Helps With Concussion Recovery:

• Energy conservation strategies to reduce fatigue and brain fog

   

• Gradual, safe return to school, work, play, exercise, or driving

   

• Support for light and sound sensitivity, headaches, and sensory overload

   

• Techniques to manage visual strain

   

• Psychosocial support to rebuild confidence and reduce anxiety during recovery

   

• Adaptations to your environment or routines to make daily tasks manageable

   

• Therapeutic exercises to improve strength, coordination, and endurance

   

• Manual therapy to relieve pain and improve comfort

   

• Reducing barriers so you can focus on what matters most: healing and feeling like yourself again

   

You may be a good fit for OT if you’re experiencing:

• Persistent symptoms after a concussion or head injury

   

• Post-Concussion Syndrome (ongoing headaches, fatigue, fogginess, irritability, difficulty concentrating)

   

• Traumatic Brain Injury

   

• Neuro-Lyme symptoms affecting cognition or energy

   

• Chronic illness that affects daily hand functioning: EDS

   

Amy works collaboratively with her clients and their healthcare team to make the recovery process smoother. Her approach centers around education, empowerment, and helping each person move forward at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
