Are you disappointed that you are not "back to normal" after your concussion
because you are still in a fog?
Maybe the progression of your condition has you relying on family to help you with everyday tasks?
Have you recently said, "I just want to get back to my life"?
Are you worried your teen won't be able to function once they are out of the house because of their autism or ADHD?

Let's get started on your journey and get you back to life

Encompassing Services for Brain and Body, Function and Life

At A Rise Above Occupational Therapy we love helping teens and adults with brain conditions think, move and perform everyday tasks better, even if you feel like you plateaued.

Have you found our site because you’re looking to work with an occupational therapist in the Lehigh Valley? Have you been recommended to try occupational therapy?

If yes, then you’ve come to the right place!

With problems like blurred vision and headaches, or a clumsy arm and hand, or trouble thinking clearly it’s tempting to think “this is as good as it gets” or even, “there is no help for me”…

Unfortunately, often times neurological problems progress or the skills never develop, and they slowly get worse, impacting your lifestyle and disrupting your happiness.

Other services may provide temporary improvement…but then the symptoms return and you feel even more hopeless.

Occupational therapy, when done properly, not only helps you move better, but also improves how you think and perform everyday tasks more independently so you can get back to your normal lifestyle.

We know you’re skeptical. It's likely you’ve been to other healthcare practitioners in the past and not everything they’ve done has helped you or your problems because you still haven’t met your goals to do what you want to be able to do.

Or maybe you and your teen have been flying under the radar in school but know in your heart of hearts that there is something that can be done to help, you just haven't found it yet.

We Understand.

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone.

Most of our clients at A Rise Above Occupational Therapy have often:

Tried treatment elsewhere, sometimes even at other occupational therapy clinics, and had poor experiences and results after only 4 weeks of therapy.

Thought regular exercises would help with their neurological condition only to find that exercises they used to do now no longer help their affected arm or hand.

Been told by a friend, family member, employer, teacher or other provider that it’s just a concussion and don’t understand why they are still having symptoms and
been told to just “get over it- it’s in your head”.

Seen other teens perform tasks easily,
but see their own teen struggling with simple everyday tasks and learning because they can’t spontaneously “think it through”.

Been told that they plateaued and there is nothing else to do.

Not realized that a concussion can last longer than a few weeks and
didn’t know that the problem could be coming from their eyes.

Thought that their memory issues are just part of “getting older”
and not related to their neurological disease.

Do any of those sound like you?

If you can relate, then we would love to help you by setting up a time for you to talk to our Occupational Therapists to find out what can be done to help you. If you’ve tried a lot of things already, that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s actually a good thing because we now know what DOESN’T work and are closer to finding out what WILL work for your problem.

Here’s What People We’ve Recently Helped In The Lehigh Valley Had to Say:

I am so grateful for the practitioners at this practice. Everyone is genuinely caring. I primarily work with Lexi and she is INCREDIBLE! I have seen (no pun intended) improvement from the techniques used in my vision therapy and feel seen and heard by Lexi and everyone at the practice. I highly recommend A Rise Above. - Tanean

Meghan and everyone else we have encountered in the office have been AMAZING. Meghan has been so instrumental with helping my son make leaps and strides!! -Jaclyn

I would give 10 stars if I could!!! This therapy office is the best I have been to. Have had several different therapies for my concussion. I feel like I'm at home in their office. The staff/owner are wonderful and caring. They also seem to know a bit more than my practitioner. I appreciate this place very much and am glad practices like this still exist in the world today. I highly recommend going here for therapy! You will not regret it!!! - Dani

Been going here for well over a month. Concussion therapy Staff is always friendly and fun! Definitely making progress with Savannah! She's the best! Thank you so much for helping me so much! -Melody
