If you face challenges in performing everyday tasks due to physical, psychological, neurological, or orthopedic conditions, occupational therapy can be of great assistance. It aims to enhance your ability to engage in daily activities, overcoming the limitations posed by these conditions.
The primary objective of occupational therapy is to optimise functional independence in various daily tasks. These tasks include personal care, household activities such as meal preparation, cleaning, laundry, and gardening, community mobility through private or public transportation, participation in leisure activities, and successful reintegration into work or education. Occupational therapy also addresses cognitive abilities such as memory, planning, and organisation to further support overall well-being.
