Daily-living recovery guides
Occupational therapists are healthcare professionals who help people develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and work.
They treat patients recovering from injuries, living with disabilities, or facing age-related decline, focusing on practical activities like dressing, cooking, or using tools.
