OT stands for Occupational Therapy. Occupational therapy is a branch of healthcare that focuses on helping people achieve independence and improve their ability to perform daily living and work-related tasks.
Occupational therapists work with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that may include exercises, activities, and adaptations to help improve physical, cognitive, and emotional functioning. They may also work with patients to identify environmental factors that may be hindering their ability to perform daily tasks, and develop strategies to overcome those barriers.
Occupational therapy may be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions, including neurological disorders, musculoskeletal injuries, and mental health conditions. It may be used as a primary treatment, or in conjunction with other medical treatments, such as medication or surgery.
In addition to Occupational Therapy, OT can also stand for other medical abbreviations such as Overtime (in the context of work hours), Occupational Therapist (a healthcare professional who provides occupational therapy services), or Old Town (in the context of a geographic location).
