The USC Occupational Therapy Faculty Practice (OTFP) offers a variety of programs in Lifestyle Redesign®, an innovative, cutting edge approach developed by the USC Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy (Ranked #1 OT School in 8 of last 10 years). Based on clinical trial research, Lifestyle Redesign® is the process of acquiring health-promoting habits and routines in daily life (Clark et. al, 1997). Occupational therapy looks at how clients “occupy� their time, and how daily activities affect health, wellness, recovery, and life satisfaction. The OTFP has developed a Lifestyle Redesign® program specifically aimed to assist patients suffering with back pain or other ailments associated with spine.
