Occupational Therapy in St. Louis, MO
St. Louis is a city that thrives on connection—whether it’s cheering on the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, enjoying a stroll through Forest Park, or simply spending quality time with family in your neighborhood. But when pain, injury, or limited movement in your hands, wrists, or shoulders gets in the way, even the simplest joys can feel out of reach. With our changing seasons—icy winters, humid summers, and everything in between—daily life in St. Louis often brings unique challenges for your joints, especially if you love gardening, biking along the riverfront, or working with your hands. That’s where Occupational Therapy at Athletico Physical Therapy – Central West End steps in: to help you restore function, reduce pain, and get back to living fully in the community you love.
