In addition to our Medical and diagnostic testing capabilities, we also can provide many occupational therapy treatment services for our patients, including: vision therapy, cognitive therapy, Life Skills strategies to improve and manage activities of daily life (ADL), and treatments for mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI – concussions).
Occupational therapy is the only profession that helps people to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations). Occupational therapy practitioners enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability.
Joseph Wilson, DPT - Rehabilitation Program Director
Joe began his journey with vestibular rehabilitation during a clinical rotation at NDBC. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Joe was hired at NDBC to work full time. Joe particularly likes the personalized approach vestibular rehab gives to each patient. Every person has different life goals and activities they enjoy and want to return to.
Joe was drawn to NDBC because of its collaborative care model that ensures patients are getting the best care possible under different medical providers. NDBC also provides ample resources for continuing education to learn more about the patients we treat. Joe enjoys spending time outside, including hiking, running, and golfing. You can find Joe cheering on the Packers on Sundays in the fall and winter.
