Occupational Therapists ensure empowerment of everyone in need at NHB
Lending a holistic healing hand…Ms. Teri Nyblom, certified occupational therapist assistant at Naval Hospital Bremerton works on range of motion exercises for fracture rehabilitation with Culinary Specialist Submarines 2nd Class Elisha Schmidt of Commander, Submarine Squadron 17. Occupational Therapists like Nyblom provide support to their patients by helping them overcome such health and wellness concerns as orthopedic surgery recovery, geriatric rehabilitation, and stroke management by ensuring their patients – much like Schmidt - can regain independence and strength, reduce pain and regain range of motion and function (Official Navy phot by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
