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.
