Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapists (OT) use a whole person perspective to work with individuals, groups and communities to achieve optimal health and wellbeing through participation in the occupations of life. The term ‘occupation’ is used to describe all the everyday things we do in our life roles, but also the things we do to be who we are, the things we do to create a meaningful life and to engage with wider society and culture.

Occupational therapy enables people to participate in activities they find meaningful. These activities include taking care of oneself (and others), working, volunteering, participating in hobbies, interests and social events.

Occupational therapy is a client-centered 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.

Our OT’s at The Physio Bunker are exceptionally caring, understanding and go above and beyond to work with clients to help them achieve their goals. Occupational Therapists can also help you decide if you need any to make any environmental adjustments (e.g. rails in your shower, or removing trip hazards), would benefit from new equipment or require help from assistive technologies.
