occupational therapy
that comes to you
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy enables people to participate in activities they find meaningful. These activities include taking care of oneself (and others), working, volunteering, and participating in hobbies, interests and social events.
Occupational therapy is a client-centred health profession that involves ongoing assessments to understand what activities you can do (and those you want to do), any current limitations, your goals/motivations and also to offer advice/techniques about how to do something more easily and safely.
Occupational therapists (OTs) prescribe devices to help you do the activities you want and need to do. They will make sure you can use the device in the best way to meet your needs. This means that you will get a total solution and not just a product.
Occupational Therapy services we provide
Occupational therapists work with people of all ages and abilities to help them engage in the things they need and want to in all aspects of life, such as taking care of oneself and others, working, volunteering, and participating in hobbies, interests and social events.
These activities (i.e. these “occupations”) can be grouped into three broad categories:
LEISURE:
- We engage in leisure occupations for relaxation, play and enjoyment
- These often vary person to person, but can include reading, knitting and playing sport
SELF-CARE:
- Self-care occupations enable people to remain active and independent in their everyday lives
- Common examples of self-care include showering, applying make-up and cooking
PRODUCTIVITY:
- Through productivity occupations, people often derive meaning through their contributions
- These change throughout the lifespan, and consist of schoolwork, parenting, volunteering and employment
Occupational therapists also help people to manage and live with long-term (chronic) health conditions, like arthritis, diabetes, and cancer to name a few.
Occupational therapists understand the relationships between what people do, their health and their well-being. Occupational therapists work with people to help make every day living easier.
They assist people to manage ongoing symptoms and prevent complications by:
- Building their knowledge and skills
- Finding new ways of doing activities
- Changing the environment to suit their needs
