Occupational Therapy in Chicago, IL
Chicago’s vibrant energy is contagious, whether you’re braving a brisk Lake Michigan wind on your morning commute, carrying groceries up the “L” steps, or heading to a Saturday neighborhood festival. But when hand, wrist, or shoulder pain slows you down, those everyday joys can suddenly feel out of reach. From shoveling winter snow to biking the lakefront in summer, your hands and upper body are essential for taking part in all that our city offers. That’s where Occupational Therapy at Athletico Physical Therapy – Rogers Park (Touhy & Western) comes in—empowering you to regain independence and get back to the Chicago lifestyle you love.
What Is Occupational Therapy and Who Can It Help?
Occupational Therapy focuses on helping you participate fully in the activities that matter most—at home, work, and out in our community. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or adapting after surgery, an occupational therapist works with you to restore movement, build strength, and improve daily function. In a city like Chicago, where every season brings unique demands—think icy sidewalks in winter or opening stubborn patio doors in summer—having healthy hands and shoulders makes all the difference.
