About Us

WHAT is occupational therapy?

People will often ask me "what does an occupational therapist actually do?"

The best way to describe it is that we are professional problem solvers. We work with people to understand what is important to them on a day-to-day basis.

Often it might be something as simple as being able to hang out the washing or pouring a cup of tea. These tasks seem simple but can become much harder as we age.

Our job is to find ways to make these tasks easy again so that the person can get back to doing what they love.

It is amazing what can be achieved with some equipment, modifications and a little bit of creative thinking.

- an OT really can change your life!
