10. Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps one adjust to living with a condition such as essential tremor. In this case, it involves working with an occupational therapist to make some lifestyle changes to improve livelihood. For example, the therapist may recommend buying eating utensils that have bigger handles, that are easier to hold. Pull-on clothes with no buttons can also make life easier, as tremors can make it almost impossible to do up or undo buttons. Wearing weights on the wrists may also help hand stability.
