FAQs

No referral is required, but a doctor’s referral may help if you have a specific condition.

Yes, occupational therapy is beneficial for individuals with mental health concerns, focusing on improving daily functioning and emotional well-being.

Occupational Therapists assess a person’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and sensory needs and create personalised treatment plans to help them:

  • Perform daily tasks like dressing, cooking, and personal care.
  • Improve fine motor skills (e.g., handwriting, buttoning clothes).
  • Enhance mobility, strength, and coordination.
  • Adapt workstations for better ergonomics and injury prevention.
  • Use assistive technology and adaptive equipment for easier living.
  • Develop social and coping skills for mental well-being.

While both focus on improving function, they have different approaches:

  • Physiotherapy (PT) focuses on improving physical movement, strength, and pain relief through exercises and hands-on treatment.
  • Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on helping individuals perform daily activities and improving their ability to function at home, work, and in the community.

For example, after a stroke, a physiotherapist helps regain movement, while an occupational therapist helps the patient relearn how to dress, cook, and use adaptive tools.

OT services may include:

  • Fine & gross motor skill development (e.g., handwriting, coordination).
  • Cognitive therapy for memory and problem-solving.
  • Hand therapy for injuries or post-surgical recovery.
  • Ergonomic assessments for workplaces and home modifications.
  • Sensory integration therapy for children with sensory processing challenges.
  • Pain management strategies for chronic conditions.
  • Adaptive technology training for independence.

During an OT session, the therapist will:

  1. Assess your needs through discussion and functional tests.
  2. Set treatment goals based on your challenges and daily activities.
  3. Use hands-on therapy, exercises, and adaptive strategies to improve function.
  4. Recommend assistive devices or home modifications if needed.
  5. Provide education and a home program to continue progress between sessions.

Each session is tailored to your specific condition, lifestyle, and goals.

Yes! Paediatric Occupational Therapy helps children develop the skills needed for school, play, and self-care. It can assist with:

  • Handwriting difficulties and fine motor skills.
  • Sensory processing disorders (helping children regulate their senses).
  • Developmental delays (supporting independence and coordination).
  • Autism and ADHD (improving focus, behaviour, and social skills).
  • Self-care skills (e.g., dressing, eating, brushing teeth).

Therapists use fun, play-based activities to engage children and help them build confidence.

The timeline for progress depends on the individual, their condition, and therapy goals. Some people see improvement in a few sessions, while others with chronic conditions or developmental needs may require long-term support.

Your therapist will track your progress and adjust the treatment plan to ensure the best possible outcomes.
