Earlier this year, the CFC expanded its services with the help of Occupational Therapist, Trina Bellanger. Through occupational therapy, patients develop and recover skills needed for daily living and work, and they also improve and maintain those skills.
Trina works with the upper extremities and fine motor skills of patients in need. Treatment may lead to therapeutic interventions for enhanced movement, safety, and reduction in joint and muscle pain, improving the ability to care for themselves. Conditions may also involve low vision and decreased sensation, limited control of grasp and handling of useful tools, or minimized shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand movement due to injury or disease.
In offering occupational therapy, the Clearwater Free Clinic continues to provide patients with comprehensive healthcare, addressing every concern to heal them completely.
