Rebecca Larkin

“As an Occupational Therapist, I enjoy exploring new challenges and treating a wide variety of conditions—from neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s and strokes to orthopedic issues, including arthritis, fractures, and scoliosis. My passion is guiding patients from all walks of life as they reclaim their ability to do what they love. We experience the world with our hands, but often in dynamic ways. While many people may associate Occupational Therapy primarily with hand-related treatments, our scope extends far beyond that. I incorporate balance activities, mobility exercises, and functional training to ensure a holistic approach to care. By addressing the entire body’s coordination and movement, I focus on restoring independence in daily activities and supporting patients to regain their overall quality of life.”
