How Else Does Peak Point PT Offer Occupational Therapy?
In this section, we transition the focus from general physical therapy to specialized Occupational Therapy interventions
Pain Management
At Peak Point, our occupational therapy approach to pain management focuses solely on “functional movement”. We evaluate how chronic pain or acute injury interferes with your daily routines. A combination of ergonomic adjustments, activity modification and sensory desensitization are utilized by our professional therapists. We don’t just treat the pain, we teach you how to move, work and live in ways that minimize strain on your joints and nerves, allowing for a more active and independent lifestyle.
Swelling Management (Edema Control)
Regaining range of motion, especially in the hands and upper extremities, Swelling management is very critical. Our OT team utilizes Manual Edema Mobilization (MEM), customized compression therapy and specialized elevation techniques. We help accelerate the healing process and prevent long-term stiffness by reducing fluid buildup through targeted lymphatic drainage and therapeutic exercise, often associated with post-surgical or post-traumatic swelling.
Wound Management
Our Occupational Therapists are experts in post-surgical and trauma-related wound care for the upper extremities. We focus on maintaining a clean, optimal healing environment to prevent infection and facilitate tissue repair. This includes specialized dressing changes, debridement when necessary and education on home care. By closely monitoring the wound’s progress, we ensure that your recovery stays on track and that the underlying structures are protected.
Different Types of Scar Care
Scars can often become “adherent,” limiting your ability to bend a finger or rotate your wrist. We provide advanced scar management techniques, including:
Scar Massage and Remodeling: To soften and flatten thick or hypertrophic scars.
Silicone Gel Sheeting: To improve the texture and color of the scar.
Vibration Therapy: To reduce sensitivity and increase pliability.
Active Range of Motion (AROM): To ensure the scar doesn’t tether to underlying tissues, maintaining your full functional mobility.

F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions – Occupational Therapy Passaic
What is the difference between Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy?
While physical therapy focuses on improving your strength and gross motor movement (like walking), Occupational Therapy focuses on the “occupations” of daily life. This includes fine motor skills, dressing, cooking and workplace management. If an injury prevents you from performing specific daily tasks, then OT is the solution.
Do I need Occupational Therapy for hand or wrist injuries?
Yes. Occupational Therapists often specialize in hand therapy because the hand requires delicate and fine motor precision. We treat carpal tunnel, fractures, tendonitis and arthritis to help you regain the dexterity needed for typing, writing and gripping.
How long will my occupational therapy program last?
The duration depends on your specific condition and goals. After an initial evaluation at our Passaic clinic, your therapist will create a customized plan. Typically, patients see significant functional improvement within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent sessions.
