Welcome to Total Approach Therapy
Occupational Therapy is all about function – maintaining, regaining and improving function. When looking at function from the occupational therapists perspective, we consider activities that are important to you. Not being able to perform an activity that you have enjoyed – or that may have been a requirement of your occupation – is a potentially devastating position to be in.
Why the name Total Approach Therapy?

With the expertise gained by over thirty years experience in
Occupational Therapy techniques,
Clinical Acupressure,
Process Acupressure,
Craniosacral Therapy and
Ergonomics, we devise a
personalized “
Total Approach” Therapy plan to help facilitate and optimize your wellness. You deserve the attention and focus of a dedicated individual who will treat you without distractions or interruptions. You are not “an arm”, “a knee”, “a back” … “a neck” – you are a “whole being” – that deserves treatment of your
ENTIRE well being – body, mind and spirit. We think in terms of “modalities” – in simple terms our professional “tool box” of treatments that will best address your specific needs. At
Total Approach Therapy you will receive dedicated,
one-on-one care throughout your entire therapy appointment. A
pain-free existence is possible –
meaningful improvement in your overall well-being is possible. You deserve “
Total Approach Therapy” to improve function, reduce pain and regain your overall sense of well-being.
Achieve wellness through personalized care & gentle, hands-on therapy

The primary goal of occupational therapy is to improve a person’s function: getting back to life. Occupational therapy practitioners have a “whole”-istic perspective, in which the focus is on adapting the environment to fit the person, and most importantly
the person is an integral part of the therapy team.
Owner and practitioner, Marilyn Zurwaski, draws on her diverse background and over 30 years experience to constantly evaluate and customize your care. Her many perspectives in natural pain relief and deep understanding of the total body approach to wellness allows her to identify the right treatment for you – healing is not a one-size-fits-all approach; it should honor each person and be as individual as you are.
