Ergotherapy — also known as occupational therapy — helps patients regain everyday function after injury, neurological events, developmental conditions or chronic illness. We coordinate licensed occupational therapists in Cuenca for children and adults who need structured support to return to daily activities.
Our Approach

When to consult
A timely visit with the right specialist can clarify the next step.
Patients commonly request ergotherapy coordination when symptoms persist, a prior diagnosis needs follow-up, or a treatment plan requires review by a licensed specialist.
How First Care coordinates
We organize the path around the appointment.
Our team helps align medical records, preferred language, location, schedules, diagnostic studies, and follow-up so the treating professional has better context.

What to bring or share before your visit
- Current symptoms, when they started, and what has changed.
- Travel itinerary and altitude exposure if relevant.
- Current medication list, allergies, and chronic conditions.
- Recent test results or prescriptions from your home country.
