What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy is a broad discipline encompassing everything an adult or child would need to be functional and independent in daily life at home, school, work or play. This is what we call ‘occupations.’

Occupational Therapy is an important healthcare profession and Occupational Therapists understand that learning what motivates people helps us to help you gain your confidence to become independent again.

Occupational Therapists provide therapeutic interventions to help people across the lifespan physically, emotionally and mentally to engage in their everyday occupations to achieve their highest quality of life.
