A question for someone looking into becoming an OT

Discussion

Hello, I was curious if being an OT is physically hard on your hands. I have a skin disorder and growing up I had constant open wounds on my hands (I saw an OT my whole life) however, the finally healed and my skin issues seem to have gotten better. I have minor cuts and sores that are as annoying as paper cuts, but nothing like how it used to be. I would love to become an OT and was curious how strenuous it is specifically on specifically hands and what areas are “easier.” I absolutely loved my OT and was amazed at her ability to think outside of the box for whatever issue I presented. I get it’s a heads on job which I’m okay with, I guess I would love some overall intel. thaks!!
