Key Takeaways:
- Occupational therapy can boost independence and safety for adults and older adults during the active summer season.
- From daily tasks to hand strength and home safety, OT supports a confident lifestyle.
- All sessions are 60-minute, one-on-one treatments customized to your needs.
As South Florida’s sun shines brighter, it’s the perfect time for enjoying life—whether you’re planning a road trip, heading to the beach, or spending time at home. But if small tasks like buttoning a shirt, cooking safely, or carrying groceries have become challenging, occupational therapy can help you stay independent, confident, and engaged this summer.
At Florida Movement Therapy Centers, we provide full-hour, one-on-one occupational therapy sessions tailored for adults and active older adults in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach.
Why Summer Is a Great Time for OT
- Greater Home Activity: With more time at home or hosting guests, everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, and home mobility become even more important.
- Outdoor Fun Requires Function: Holding gardening tools, carrying a beach bag, or playing with grandkids all require coordination and strength.
- Heat Can Impact Endurance: Summer heat can make tasks feel more difficult. OT helps with energy conservation strategies and safe movement planning.
What Occupational Therapy Helps With
Our therapists address a wide range of issues that affect daily life:
- Dressing, grooming, and bathing independence
- Hand strength, dexterity, and coordination
- Home safety assessments and fall prevention
- Cognitive support for planning, memory, and multitasking
- Adaptive equipment training for easier living
- Fatigue management for neurological conditions (e.g., Parkinson’s, MS)
We also work with those recovering from hand injuries, surgeries, or strokes—getting you back to your best, faster.
Why One-on-One Care Matters
Unlike group therapy or distracted clinics, your session is:
- One-on-one with a licensed occupational therapist
- A full 60 minutes dedicated to YOUR goals
- Focused on real-life improvements—not just checklists
You’ll work toward function that matters most to you—like cooking your favorite summer meal, packing a suitcase, or writing a birthday card without pain.
