How Low Vision Rehabilitation Works

Ivy Rehab Network occupational therapists can work with your low vision team to assure you have the correct lenses and magnifiers for your eyesight and help you learn the optimal way to apply their use in your daily life. Low vision occupational therapy can be a great compliment to physical therapy if your visual impairment is causing balance issues, difficulty seeing curb cuts and stairs, or if you have neck pain from utilizing poor posture in order to see.

Occupational therapists can also help address the visual deficits that may arise following a sudden neurologic event such as a concussion, brain injury, or stroke, which may cause oculomotor deficits, double vision, and visual field deficits through an eye exam. We will also work to address any visual perceptual, depth perception and spatial awareness issues that might arise secondary to your neurologic injury during low vision therapy. 

Contact us today to see how an Ivy Rehab Network low vision occupational therapist may be able to help you through your vision impairment rehab as a patient at one of our clinics!

Excellent4.8★★★★★ review us on ★★★★★ Professional, friendly, and caring therapists. Friendly and helpful front desk. Spacious and clean facility. Easy scheduling. Highly recommended. Worked primarily with Catherine and on occasion Christina and Jessica between October and December 2019 to treat my Adhesive Capsulitis. They are all fantastic and the stretch and strengthening techniques they taught me are great. ★★★★★ I’ve been going for a torn ACL and meniscus pre and post op pretty much since this office opened. Matt has great “bedside manner” and is very patient and knowledgeable, and the staff are very kind and helpful, all of which has been great for recovery. I don’t recommend tearing your ACL but I do recommend this place!Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share this review, it means so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Brooklyn – Fort Greene ★★★★★ Aaron did a fantastic job which allowed me to significantly reduce pain and regain mobility of my arm and shoulder.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Cresskill ★★★★★ I cannot speak of Park Sports PT highly enough.I started PT following surgery for a torn MPFL in my left knee (hurts, don’t do it), in October 2021, with the goal of getting back to playing soccer once I’d completed my recovery. It required around four months of therapy, and these guys were absolutely fantastic.They were knowledgable about the injury and did a really good job of tracking my progress. Every time I came in, the PT/assistant knew exactly what exercises I need to do, with the exact weight and everything. They ensured that my form was solid, and did their bit to make exercises fun, too. I worked mostly with Ellis and Vic, who were both excellent. From hanging around the clinic, and seeing different patients recovery smoothly from different injuries, I got the sense that everyone else was just as capable.Most of all, though, I found myself having a good time whenever I was there. All of them, from the front desk to the full time docs, are fun, engaging and warm people. My four months flew by, and I’m back to playing soccer at full capacity now!Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share this review, it means so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab, Brooklyn – Williamsburg ★★★★★ Worked with Kristen for the past few months for an adductor injury and she is great.

The professionalism, courtesy, and treatment they provide to their patients is refreshing to see.

My 2 year old has made so much progress and he runs to see his therapist, Kathleen, who is awesome with him! The team at the front desk are great as well. We highly recommend this location. ★★★★★ When I first came the energy was incredible from the receptionist to the staff. Pam, Kate, Fiona thank you so much for making this experience amazing.

After a 17-hour flight, I injured and sprained my neck and shoulders, leaving me unable to move for days. The pain was unbearable, and I was desperate for relief. From the very first session with Joseph, I noticed a significant improvement. He worked carefully and expertly to help me regain mobility and range of motion in my neck and shoulders. His knowledge, professionalism, and compassionate approach made all the difference. After just one session, I could feel my body responding, and I began to slowly regain movement I thought would take weeks to recover. On top of that, everyone at the clinic was incredibly nice and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re in need of a skilled and caring physical therapist, I highly recommend Joseph Crawford and the team!Response from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, West Deptford ★★★★★ They are so professanl and go out of there way to help you reach your Goal .And they keep your sprits up.
