Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy enables participation in activities of everyday life

Our team of occupational therapists are qualified and experienced in delivering occupational therapy to clients of all ages no matter their needs.  We enable participation by supporting clients in early mobilisation, developmental milestones, restoring function and preventing further decline.

The team provides initial assessments of a person’s skill, ability and needs as well as monitoring function and progress.  Below are some examples of the type of work we do to support people of all ages – children through to the elderly.
