Our Services

At Riverview Therapy, our occupational therapists offer the following specialized services:

• Promoting Independence: Tailored interventions designed to enhance daily living skills and overall quality of life, empowering seniors to maintain independence at home with a focus on safety. We provide patients and their families with essential education on adaptive techniques, safety strategies, and access to community resources and support groups.
• Pelvic Floor Strengthening: Targeted exercises and education aimed at addressing urinary incontinence, enhancing pelvic health, and improving sexual function, empowering individuals to engage in daily activities with confidence. We also offer the Emsella chair, a non-invasive treatment for strengthening pelvic floor muscles and improving bladder control.
• Home Evaluations: Comprehensive assessments of living environments to ensure safety and accessibility, facilitating aging in place. We help reduce the risk of injury and hospitalization by identifying hazards, recommending modifications, and offering guidance on adaptive equipment to create a safer, more supportive home.
• Cognitive Function Assessment and Support: Providing exercises and strategies to improve memory, problem-solving, and executive function. We assist with activity modifications, routine establishment, and social engagement, while equipping patients and families with tools like planners, reminder systems, and assistive technology to manage cognitive challenges.
• Wheelchair and Adaptive Equipment Assessments: Comprehensive evaluations to ensure the correct fit and functionality of wheelchairs, walkers, and other adaptive equipment, improving mobility and safety for our patients. Riverview works with Durable Medical Equipment (DME) vendors to ensure that patients receive the highest quality equipment tailored to their needs. We assist with proper fitting, adjustments, and training on the use of devices, ensuring that patients can confidently and safely use their equipment in their daily lives.
• Hand and Upper Body Rehabilitation: Specialized interventions to enhance strength, coordination, and dexterity in the hands and upper body, helping patients regain independence in daily tasks such as community re-integration, basic self-cares, cooking, and home management tasks.
• Customized Exercise Programs: Tailored exercise plans designed to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. We also establish home exercise programs to promote health and wellness after completing therapy.
