Occupational Therapy

 

Occupational Therapy helps increase independence and improve quality of life.

We provide a client-centred service and, where possible, work closely with the client’s family and significant people around them, as well as any multidisciplinary staff involved in their care. ​We provide assessment and rehabilitation in the client’s home and community.
​
Therapy is often a careful combination of helping the client identify and pursue alternative or previously enjoyed life roles and activities and helping them to increase their independence and engagement. At the same time, it helps raise their awareness and supports their gradual acceptance of the changes wrought by their injury.
