Empowering Functional Independence

Our occupational therapy aims to enhance individuals' functional independence and satisfaction across all life aspects. We provide practical support to facilitate recovery and help individuals overcome barriers that limit their engagement in meaningful activities, including personal care, daily living activities, leisure, and vocational pursuits.

 

Specialist Assessments and Support

Working alongside a multidisciplinary team, our occupational therapists offer specialist assessments, prescriptions, and advice on posture and seating. This comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of the client's needs is met, from basic mobility to complex environmental interactions.

Sensory Integration

Our Sensory Integration Occupational Therapists specialise in using a sensory integration framework to better understand an individual's capacities. Beyond the commonly recognised senses like vision and hearing, they focus on crucial but largely unconscious senses such as the vestibular system (balance and movement) and proprioception (sensory feedback from muscles and joints). Over recent years there has also been the introduction of Interoception – the sense used for identifying and understanding how you feel (hungry, full, hot, cold etc) These senses are vital for successfully adapting to and interacting with the environment and to be functional.
