Types of therapy
Occupational Therapy
Reliant Medical Group’s occupational therapists help patients improve their ability to perform tasks in living and working environments. They work with individuals who suffer from a mentally, physically, developmentally, or emotionally disabling condition. Occupational therapists use treatments to develop, recover, or maintain the daily living and work skills of their patients. The therapist helps clients not only to improve their basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also to compensate for permanent loss of function. The goal is to help clients have independent, productive, and satisfying lives.
Occupational therapists help clients to perform all types of activities, from using a computer to caring for daily needs such as dressing, cooking, and eating. Physical exercises may be used to increase strength and dexterity, while other activities may be chosen to improve visual acuity or the ability to discern patterns. For example, a client with short-term memory loss might be encouraged to make lists to aid recall, and a person with coordination problems might be assigned exercises to improve hand-eye coordination. Occupational therapists also use computer programs to help clients improve decision-making, abstract-reasoning, problem-solving, and perceptual skills, as well as memory, sequencing, and coordination—all of which are important for independent living.
Patients with permanent disabilities, such as spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, or muscular dystrophy, often need special instruction to master certain daily tasks. For these individuals, therapists demonstrate the use of adaptive equipment, including wheelchairs, orthoses, eating aids, and dressing aids. They also design or build special equipment needed at home or at work, including computer-aided adaptive equipment. They teach clients how to use the equipment to improve communication and control various situations in their environment.

Physical Therapy
At Reliant, our physical therapists help patients improve mobility, ease pain, restore their function, and work to limit long-term physical disabilities from injury or disease.
Whether you suffer from back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries, or cerebral palsy, our therapists can help increase your flexibility and range of motion. The overall goal is to improve how you function both at work and at home.
Some of the treatments we use include:
- Electrical stimulation
- Hot or cold compresses
- Ultrasound
- Traction
- Deep-tissue massage
Our physical therapists also teach patients how to use assistive and adaptive devices and instruct on how to do exercises at home. No matter what your physical therapy needs, Reliant can make a difference in your recovery.
We also offer virtual care through video visits. If you are interested, ask your provider if your appointment is appropriate for virtual care.
