Occupational Therapy Concept

About Occupational Therapy Concept

OT Concept, also presented on the website as Occupational Therapy Concept, is an occupational therapy practice serving children and adults. The site lists Queens Boulevard addresses in Long Island City and Woodside, New York, and describes care for people who want to improve function, reduce pain, and return to everyday activities. General occupational therapy is presented as support for daily tasks such as grooming, eating, cooking, and getting out of bed when injury or illness makes those activities harder. The practice also highlights neuro rehabilitation for people recovering from stroke, brain injury, and other neurologic issues, along with hand rehabilitation, shoulder rehabilitation, vestibular rehabilitation, and pediatric occupational therapy.

The pediatric section describes programs for handwriting, pre-writing, fine motor training, motor planning, sensory processing, social skills, evaluation, consultation, and a yoga-based core strengthening program for children with autism and ADHD. Adult orthopedic care includes treatment for shoulder conditions such as rotator cuff injury, bursitis, tendonitis, impingement, adhesive capsulitis, labral tears, and recovery after replacement surgery. Hand rehabilitation is described for hand, finger, wrist, and elbow problems, including repetitive strain, work injuries, and post-surgical care such as carpal tunnel and tendon repair. The vestibular page lists support for Meniere’s disease, neuroma or schwannoma, and BPPV or vertigo.

The practice is led by Sharmin Tiu-Curcio, OTR/L, the owner and a licensed occupational therapist. Her bio states that she has practiced for more than 15 years and has training across school-based and outpatient pediatrics, adult subacute rehabilitation, and home care. Across the website, the clinic emphasizes individualized treatment, safety, cleanliness, patient trust, and a welcoming environment where patients are encouraged to ask questions and take an active role in care.
