What is Occupational Therapy?
All of the important activities that you need and want to do in your day, such as hiking, gardening, or even cooking, are what we call “occupations.” Sometimes life events, such as an accident or illness, can get in the way.
Occupational therapy is about helping people overcome those barriers that get in the way and helping them live a full, satisfying, and productive life.
What is an Occupational Therapist?
People who have trouble participating in day-to-day activities often benefit from occupational therapy.
These activities include what we do every day, i.e., self-care, leisure, education, home management, volunteering, and work. You may have difficulty participating in activities due to an illness or disability, or due to the social, institutional, or physical environment.
When you see an occupational therapist, he or she will assess and evaluate your “occupational performance”. This means your ability to choose, organize, and effectively and safely perform everyday activities.
Following this, together you and your OT develop a plan to improve, maintain, or restore your occupational performance and your health.
The treatment/intervention plan may include:
training, education, and counselling;
obtaining aids and specialized equipment (e.g. wheelchair); and/or
evaluating and modifying the home, school, or work environments.
In addition to direct care to individuals of all ages, occupational therapists may also work with groups and communities assuming the role of researcher, educator, manager, consultant, advocate, and/or program planner.

Kinesiologists are specialists in human movement. They provide assessment and treatment services for the rehabilitation of people suffering from physical injuries sustained at work, automobile collisions, sports, and other life activities. One of their primary services is active rehabilitation, which consists of the assessment of physical function followed by the implementation and progression of an individually structured and tailored exercise program to enhance and promote the safe and dependable return to an individual’s regular life activities.
Kinesiologists design and conduct health and wellness programs for all age groups, teach and organize courses and workshops in health promotion, including general fitness, sports performance, athletic training, human nutrition, and general issues related to a person’s physical well-being.
Kinesiologists provide exercise and lifestyle-based services to enhance the lives of those suffering from chronic diseases or physical and neurological injuries, such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, cancer, multiple sclerosis, autism spectrum disorder, osteoporosis, arthritis, and traumatic brain injury.
What is Active Rehab?
Active rehabilitation is the utilization of precise exercises to correct an injury or loss of function. An active rehab program would be designed for you by a certified Kinesiologist to address your specific recovery needs Active rehab can take place at your home, the gym, or a pool, depending on your rehabilitation needs.
It is the final chapter in your recovery and provides you the stepping-stone from managing your injury symptoms, to being conditioned to return to your pre-injury lifestyle.

What is a Physical Therapist?
Physical therapists are registered healthcare professionals who specialize in how the human body moves. Physical therapists treat people who have a loss of function from health conditions, injuries, or disabilities.
The first step is assessment. When you first visit a physical therapist, they will:
talk to you about the history of the problem you’re experiencing
examine your muscles and joints to assess your movement and strength
they may also do some on-the-spot tests and take some measurements
Once the assessment is complete, your physical therapist will:
explain their initial thoughts and findings to you
discuss possible goals and treatment options available
work with you to make a plan based on your goals
monitor your progress and modify treatment as needed
One key aspect of all physical therapy is education. Throughout your treatment, your physical therapist will teach you:
about your body and how it moves
how to do exercises safely and effectively
how to manage your condition and prevent future problems
Throughout your care, your physical therapist keeps a written record of your treatment. If needed and you agree, the physical therapist communicates with others involved in your care.
