Occupational Therapy
What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy is patient-focused physical therapy and uses ongoing assessments, observations, interventions and personalised care plans to help assist with physical, sensory or cognitive problems.
Our dedicated team of occupational therapists assess and modify the home or community environment, prescribe assistive devices and technology and refer on to other health professionals and assistance organisations to help you regain independence and help you engage in what is meaningful and purposeful to you.
