Off Season was founded by a Registered and Licensed Occupational Therapist who envisioned using the science and evidence-based principles that are the foundation and guiding philosophies of the profession of Occupational Therapy, and use them to assist professional athletes and those closest to them in matters that affect their personal and professional lives. Occupational Therapists are trained to perform critical thinking to implement their education in the scientific understanding of neuroscience, psychosocial development, activity, environmental analysis, and group dynamics. They combine those skills with problem-solving, creativity, and other skills to make practical, meaningful changes in a person’s life. As stated by the American Association of Occupational Therapy, “What Matters To You?” not “What’s The Matter With You?”; is the concern and priority of Off Season!

The definition of Occupational Therapy practice is the therapeutic use of occupations, including everyday life activities with individuals, groups, populations, or organizations to support participation, performance, and function in roles and situations in the home, school, workplace, community, and other settings.

Occupational therapy addresses the physical, cognitive, psychosocial, sensory-perceptual, and other aspects of performance in various contexts and environments to support engagement in occupations that affect physical and mental health, well-being, and quality of life. The profession of Occupational Therapy is an accepted practice for the rehabilitation of the body and the mind. Occupational therapists are trained to perform critical thinking to use their education in the scientific understanding of neuroscience, psych-social development, activity, environmental analysis, and group dynamics; to combine problem-solving, creativity, and the ability to make practical, meaningful changes in a person’s life.

Occupational therapy services are provided for habilitation, rehabilitation, and the promotion of health and wellness to those who have or are at risk for developing an illness, injury, disease, disorder, condition, impairment, disability, activity limitation, or participation restriction.

therapist, social workers, educators, psychologist and many others. The activities that we do every day
are what we call occupations and this is what shapes and builds our physical, emotional, psychological
and spiritual health. Occupational therapists assist persons where they live, work and play. This means
helping them perform in activities that one has to, needs to, or wants to; regardless of injury, illness,
condition, disability, life style or environment that may stands in their way.
