What Occupational Therapy for Chronic Pain Can Help With
Occupational therapy is about helping you do the things you need and want to do with less strain and more support.
Pacing and Energy Use
Learn how to reduce crashes, notice patterns, and use your energy in ways that feel more sustainable.
Daily routines and self-care
Build routines that work with your body, not against it, including mornings, meals, hygiene, rest, and recovery.
Adapting tasks and environments
Adjust routines, spaces, tools, and movement patterns to reduce unnecessary strain in daily life.
Nervous system regulation
Use strategies that support regulation when pain, stress, sensory load, and fatigue start feeding into each other
Work, school, and parenting demands
Find practical ways to navigate responsibilities with less overwhelm, less pain, and more flexibility.
Strengthening
Build strength in ways that support stability, reduce strain, and improve participation in daily life without pushing past your body’s limits.
Our Approach
Appointments are available either in-person or by telehealth to those living in Pennsylvania.
Real Life First
We start with what is actually hard right now, what is taking the most out of you, and what support would make daily life feel more workable.
Evidence-Based and Individualized
Support may include pain neuroscience education, activity pacing, nervous system regulation, sensory strategies, interoception support, and functional problem-solving tailored to your goals.
Trauma-Informed and Neurodiversity-affirming
We prioritize consent, collaboration, pacing, and body trust. Many adults with chronic pain have had experiences of being dismissed or pushed too hard. That is not our model.
What to Expect
Evaluation
Your first appointment is typically 90 minutes and gives us time to understand your history, current challenges, goals, daily demands, and the patterns you have noticed in your body.
Treatment
Follow-up sessions are typically 45 minutes and are practical, collaborative, and individualized to your needs.
Episodic Care
We use an episodic model of care, which means therapy is designed to support progress without creating unnecessary long-term dependence. Many clients come for a focused stretch of support, then return later if needed.
Insurance and access
We accept most major insurances, including Medicare Part B and several Pennsylvania Medicaid plans.
Detailed information for all clients is available on our insurance and payment page. If you are not sure if your plan is accepted, please reach out. We can help you figure out next steps.
