Functional Occupational Therapy Assessments & Rehabilitation...

Our specialist rehabilitation therapists are skilled at supporting our clients to increase their independence and participation in activities that they find challenging as a result of an injury, illness or underlying condition.

Each client’s goals are the focus of the rehabilitation journey. The journey starts with an in depth assessment to identify the client’s strengths and difficulties, as well as the activities that are important for them to be able to carry out.

Following the assessment, a detailed report is provided which outlines the assessment findings and the therapist’s recommended interventions aimed at supporting the client in achieving their goals.

Interventions may include regular therapy sessions to work on improving the component skills that are required in order to complete specific activities. Sessions can take place within the client’s home or community environments, depending on the skills being targeted.

The therapist may also recommend interventions the client can carry out on their own. These may include participating in a specific hobby or leisure activity; carrying out specific recommended therapeutic exercises or tasks; or implementing recommended strategies. Strategies may include fatigue or pain management or compensatory techniques.

Assistive equipment may also be recommended which can support the rehabilitation journey.

During the active intervention phase, progress is continually reviewed against the set goals so adjustments can be made as needed or intervention can cease once the goals are achieved.
