The Tools You Need
Occupational therapists (OTs) work to break down the barriers which hold back individuals in carrying out their day to day activities. OTs not only look at the physical effects of ageing, injury or disease, but also address the psycho-social, community and environmental factors that influence functio
Although we work with people who experience a wide variety of problems that affect independence in daily life, these are some of the more typical issues that occupational therapists help with. If you can't find the information you are looking for here please call us and ask to speak to one of our team.
Therapists can support restoring the skills needed for essential personal care tasks such as washing and dressing, toileting, grooming etc. after these are impaired by accident, illness or advancing age.
Therapists assist clients in identifying and breaking down their daily goals into actionable steps so they can be incorporated into a routine.
Home modifications to support personal care are another area in which our therapists excel so that they continue to be a secure, easily accessible space that can be adjusted to suit changing needs.
Mobility is often reduced with age or after illness or accident, leading to falls, loss of self-confidence and reduced independence.
For some, this may be a temporary period on the road to recovery; for others, it can be an ongoing hazard that requires long-term management.
Our therapists are committed to assisting clients who are seeking advice and assistance so they can maintain their independence and lower their risk of injury. Falls and decreased mobility are two of the most frequent causes for this.
When our mobility is limited due to accident, illness or aging, our ability to access the world outside our home is often compromised.
Our therapists regularly assist clients, their families or case managers in minimizing this loss of independence, from advising on specialist equipment and vehicles to arranging their delivery and installation, and equipping clients to use them effectively.
When memory issues are coupled with a diminished sense of safety that we typically experience in our homes, it can be a difficult time for clients & families. Memory loss can happen for a number of reasons, including the natural aging process, unusual periods of stress, and dementia or brain injury diagnoses.
Our non-intrusive and client centred assessments can be the first step in ensuring you get the safety and assistance you require, whether your concern was caused by your own memory lapses or you have a relative who frequently leaves the gas on or forgets to take medication.
Proper seating is essential to maintain comfort and independence.
From comfortable and supportive armchairs & recliners to more advanced wheelchairs for individuals with complex postural needs, our therapists are skilled and specialised and can provide exceptional seating assessments and interventions.
Independence, communication, quality of life, and safety can all be improved for Children with complex or diverse needs thanks to Occupational Therapy.
The recommendations we make are practical and doable for every family, as made sure by our therapists.
Our therapists are specialised in providing Rehabilitation (gross motor skills, fine motor skills, balance and co-ordination, visual perceptual skills etc.) splinting, environmental controls, comfy seating, adapted vehicles, housing or moving & handling, with an aim to promote independence in all areas of daily life.
The ability to sit and stand is something we take for granted until illness, accident, or old age makes those tasks challenging or painful.
Our therapists frequently provide treatment to people in these situations and provide workable solutions to minimize challenges in the form of methods, exercises, or specialized tools that maximize independence and comfort.
Having access to the outside world, whether it be the car, garden, stores, or social activities, is crucial for both physical and mental health.
When mobility is reduced, even otherwise simple journeys can become a challenge.
We help many people facing all variety of challenges maintain their independence and access to their community.
Our expertise also enables us to guarantee that the solutions we provide are not only affordable and practical but also perfectly suited to our clients aesthetics.
Solutions and advice to remain at or return to meaningful work
The effects on our life and health & well-being can be significant when an accident or illness limits our capacity to perform our jobs.
We regularly work with clients and employers to identify and address barriers to workplace participation.
Cooking and household tasks are at the core of home independence
Occupational therapists work with people who have difficulty maintaining or regaining their autonomy at home following illness, accident or advanced aging.
Whether it be cooking a meal, doing laundry, shopping, cleaning or other household tasks that you or your relative are struggling with, there are practical and proven techniques to maximise independence in those areas important to each individual.
