ABOUT OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy (OT) includes a number of strategies to help people continue to do the everyday things that are important to them.
Occupational Therapists facilitate recovery to help people overcome physical, mental or environmental difficulties they may be experiencing.
These difficulties could have been caused by a number of things like:
- An acute Illness
- An Accident
- Trauma
- Surgery
- War
- Disease
Who can benefit?
People of all ages can benefit from Occupational Therapy for whatever reason if they are unable to perform day-to-day tasks.
We all want to participate in the community but illness such as a stroke or dementia can stop this happening.
How we can help
We recognise that every need is different. Our skilled experienced Occupational Therapists devise a focused therapy plan using a range of therapy interventions, daily living equipment and adaptations of a persons environment.

How we customise your care
Typically, one of our Occupational Therapists will meet you and your family face-to- face and complete an assessment of your needs.
They will discuss and identify the particular activities that are concerning you. Then they will plan with you any therapies that will assist, they may recommend daily living equipment or environmental adaptations which would also be of benefit /needed to help you to remain independent.
There is a vast range of Daily Living Equipment and it is important to get the right sort that meets your needs.
