Occupational therapists are function experts! We conduct client-centered activity analysis to break down daily living tasks to identify and work on an aspect that leads to an inability or difficulty. By identifying these key components, we create a treatment catered to you to promote independence.

Occupational Therapists are specialists in the neurological population and fall prevention tasks. Our ability to analyze gait pattern, focus on safety hazards in a patient's environment, and recommend the necessary equipment or modified techniques is what makes us unique!

Also, occupational therapists are experts with the UE conditions, whether it's post-op or conservative treatment. Occupational therapists also work with pediatrics focusing on sensory deficits, fine motor coordination, emotional regulation, postural control, and all other deficits that would impact the child's participation in normal play/social activities and daily living tasks.

The field of Speech-Language Pathology focuses on many more modalities than just speech. The two main domains that fall within the scope of practice are communication and swallowing including speech production, fluency, language, cognition, voice, resonance, feeding, swallowing and hearing for infants, children and adults.

The main goal of Speech-Language Therapy is to improve ones ability to communicate and/or swallow effectively to reduce frustrations and enhance quality of life.

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) provide services to individuals with a wide variety of speech, language, and swallowing differences and disorders within eight service delivery domains that range in function from completely intact to completely compromised.

The eight service delivery domains include:
• Collaboration
• Counseling
• Prevention and Wellness
• Screening
• Assessment
• Treatment
• Modalities, Technology, and Instrumentation
• Population and Systems

Speech-Language Pathology is a dynamic profession, and the scope of our practice frequently overlaps, especially in today’s society where health care, education, and other environments are consistently evolving. Therefore, SLPs in various settings work collaboratively with other school or health care professionals to make sound decisions for the benefit of individuals with communication and swallowing disorders.

Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is a broad term that encompasses disorders of the temporomandibular joint and its associated anatomical structures. The disorder may be intra-articular, due to inflammation, internal structural changes (internal derangement) or degeneration, or it may be extra- articular due to imbalance or over-activity of the jaw muscles, commonly the muscles of mastication or the cervical muscles.

At Metro, our non-invasive, conservative treatments have found to be effective for the treatment of TMD and facial pain. Metro’s evidence based and state-of-the-art treatments are very effective in relieving and managing TMD. Even when the symptoms are long-standing and severe, we have self-managing tips we will share with you to help with your symptoms. With appropriate physical therapy, most patients will see a significant improvement in their symptoms within 3 to 6 weeks.
