Occupational Therapy provides support to help individuals of all ages overcome physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges and engage in meaningful activities. It focuses on improving independence, daily living skills, social interactions, and achieving personal goals through customized plans, adaptive equipment, and environmental adjustments. Services may include assistance with personal care, household tasks, mobility, communication, and leisure activities, and can be delivered at home, in the community, or at work.

Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physiotherapy (PT) are distinct healthcare professions with different focuses. OT supports individuals in achieving their goals and engaging in meaningful activities despite challenges. It includes daily living tasks, work, leisure, and social activities, using interventions like adaptive equipment and environmental modifications. PT, on the other hand, concentrates on physical rehabilitation, aiming to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve strength and flexibility. It involves exercises, manual therapy, and hydrotherapy to manage musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions.

For ongoing occupational therapy, our sessions are generally 1-hour appointments with 50 minutes of face to face or telehealth therapy and 10 minutes for documentation and treatment notes. However, therapy sessions can be reduced in length upon request.

A functional capacity assessment is a holistic assessment of a client’s overall function and support needs. A report is provided with assessment outcomes and recommendations to support personal goals, maximise independence and promote safety and wellbeing.
