Adult Occupational Therapy

Adult Occupational Therapy helps individuals regain the skills needed for daily living after injury, illness, or physical and cognitive changes. The focus is on practical recovery, rebuilding strength, coordination, and confidence to handle everyday routines safely and independently.

Occupational therapy at Mustard Seeds Therapy supports adults through every stage of rehabilitation. Therapists focus on upper extremity and hand rehabilitation, balance and coordination, fine motor skills, cognitive retraining, and energy conservation strategies. The team also helps with home and work adaptations to make daily tasks safer and more manageable.

Sessions are designed around real activities, getting dressed, preparing meals, managing work duties, or handling community tasks. The goal is to help each person return to their usual routines with greater control and confidence.

Our licensed Occupational Therapists (OTR/Ls) and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs) are credentialed by the state boards of Nevada and California and maintain certification with the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT).

Mustard Seeds Therapy provides occupational therapy services across Nevada and California. We serve Las Vegas, Henderson, and Reno/Sparks in Nevada, and Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Bernardino in California. In-home, and telehealth options are available for adults who need support in regaining everyday independence.

Our Adult Occupational Therapy Formats

In-Home Occupational Therapy

Therapy sessions focus on real-life skill practice for cooking, dressing, bathing, and household safety. Therapists assess the living environment, recommend adaptive tools, and modify routines to improve safety, mobility, and independence within the home.

Teletherapy OT for Adults

Licensed therapists conduct secure online sessions for adults across Nevada and California. Telehealth OT supports continued care for individuals managing chronic conditions, mobility limitations, or distance barriers. Sessions follow HIPAA standards and include guided home-based exercises, adaptive strategy training, and progress monitoring.

Caregiver Training & Suppor

Therapists provide practical education for family members and caregivers on safe transfers, joint protection, use of adaptive equipment, and activity pacing. Training focuses on improving safety, preventing injury, and maintaining progress between therapy sessions.

Rehab & Skilled Nursing Partnerships

Occupational therapy services are integrated within hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and skilled nursing facilities. Therapists address post-surgical recovery, neurological rehabilitation, orthopedic conditions, and functional reconditioning to prepare adults for a safe return home or community reintegration.

Adults & Populations We Support in Occupational Therapy

Our Occupational Therapists work with adults facing physical, cognitive, and sensory challenges that affect daily function and independence. Each stage of adulthood presents unique needs, recovery from injury, management of chronic or progressive conditions, or adapting to age-related changes. Therapy goals focus on rebuilding confidence, safety, and the ability to manage daily routines at home, work, and in the community.

Stroke, Brain Injury & Neurological Rehabilitation

We support adults recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or other neurological events that impact movement, coordination, or cognition. Therapy focuses on improving upper extremity function, balance, visual-motor integration, and task sequencing. Each session is built around real-life activities such as dressing, meal preparation, and home mobility to restore independence and safety.

Orthopedic, Post-Surgical & Hand Therapy

Therapists work with adults recovering from fractures, tendon repairs, joint replacements, and other orthopedic conditions. Treatment includes hand and upper extremity rehabilitation, range of motion exercises, strength training, and fine motor skill retraining. Splinting, scar management, and pain control strategies support recovery and help clients return to work or daily routines more efficiently.

Chronic, Progressive & Age-Related Conditions

Occupational therapy helps adults living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), arthritis, or age-related changes that affect mobility and endurance. Sessions address balance, energy conservation, and adaptive equipment use. Therapists also provide home safety evaluations and fall prevention strategies to help maintain independence and quality of life.

Cognitive, Functional & Daily Living Rehabilitation

We assist adults experiencing changes in memory, attention, or organization due to neurological or medical conditions. Therapy focuses on managing everyday responsibilities — medication schedules, household tasks, budgeting, and safe community participation. Each plan emphasizes practical routines and compensatory strategies that improve daily function and confidence.

Evidence-Based Adult OT Methods

Our Adult Occupational Therapy services focus on restoring independence and functional performance in daily life. Therapists use Task-Oriented Training to rebuild everyday skills such as dressing, grooming, meal preparation, and home management.

Specialized Hand Therapy Programs target upper extremity recovery after fractures, tendon injuries, or neurological conditions, incorporating therapeutic exercise, splinting, scar management, and fine motor retraining.

For adults recovering from neurological injury or illness, we provide Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy to address attention, memory, and problem-solving, and Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) to improve functional use of the affected limb.

Support for chronic and progressive conditions includes Energy Conservation, Fatigue Management, and Joint Protection Techniques to maintain endurance and prevent overuse. Therapists also conduct Adaptive Equipment and Ergonomic Training to enhance safety and efficiency in home and work environments.

Treatment may include Pain Management approaches such as activity pacing, sensory re-education, edema control, and therapeutic techniques appropriate to occupational therapy practice.

Our Philosophy & Approach

Functional, independence-driven care grounded in AOTA standards of practice, clinical reasoning, and evidence-based rehabilitation principles.

Treatment is built around real-life goals and meaningful daily activities, guided by the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF–4) and models such as the Person–Environment–Occupation–Performance (PEOP) and Model of Human Occupation (MOHO).

Patient-centered care that respects each individual’s values, pace, and priorities, with an emphasis on long-term independence, safety, and participation in home, work, and community life.

Collaboration is central — our therapists coordinate with families, caregivers, and interdisciplinary medical teams to support continuity and holistic recovery.
