The Ithaca College Occupational and Physical Therapy (OT/PT) Clinic is available to the Ithaca College community including students, faculty/staff, their families and the residents at Longview.
All services are provided by New York State licensed therapists.
The Clinic is available for the treatment of a variety of diagnoses including: orthopedic, neurological, hand, performing artists, pediatric and work hardening.
