Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy supports people to participate in everyday activities that are meaningful to them.

Whether you’re recovering from injury, living with a physical disability, managing a neurological condition, or adapting to physical or cognitive changes, our occupational therapists help you build skills, enhance independence, and improve your quality of life at home, at work, and in the community.

What to expect

Enhancing fine motor skills

Hand and finger exercises, dexterity drills, coordination activities, and occupation-specific training to help improve control for tasks such as writing, using utensils, or fastening buttons.

Improving physical abilities

Therapists guide clients through strength and flexibility exercises, stretching routines, and occupation-specific training to improve mobility for activities like dressing, bathing, and eating.

Improving cognitive function

Memory games, problem-solving tasks, attention-building exercises, and occupation-specific training are used to enhance cognitive processing, organisation, and daily decision-making.

Improving vision skills

Visual tracking exercises, contrast training, and environmental modifications help individuals navigate safely and improve their coordination.

Managing pain

Techniques that focus on how individuals move and perform tasks – such as joint protection strategies, activity pacing, energy conservation, ergonomic adjustments, and therapeutic exercises – can help manage and reduce chronic pain effectively.

Supporting mental health

Social skills training, structured routines, and graded exposure to work or community environments can help individuals build confidence and reintegrate into daily life.

Caregiver training

Education for caregivers on safe lifting techniques, adaptive care strategies, and ways to encourage independence while providing support.

Finding the right equipment

Assessments to determine the need for equipment to enhance participation in occupation like splints, wheelchairs, grab rails, or adaptive utensils, followed by training on proper use.

Promoting independence

Customised strategies, home modifications, driving rehabilitation programs and training in daily living activities (e.g., cooking, self-care, transportation) enable individuals to regain autonomy.

Supporting return to work

Job-specific task training, workplace modifications, and gradual return-to-work plans help clients safely resume employment.

Functional capacity assessments

The assessment identifies a person’s strengths as well as areas where support may be needed due to disability, injury, or illness. The insights gained help guide goal setting, inform care planning, and support funding applications, including those for the NDIS.

Roberto

Senior Massage Therapist

With over a decade in the health and wellness industry, Roberto is passionate about helping people recover, perform, and feel their best. His expertise spans injury rehabilitation, pain management, and sports massage, working with elite athletes and everyday clients alike.

Having run his own successful clinic, Roberto understands that great care goes beyond technique - it’s about listening, adapting, and creating tailored treatment plans that truly make a difference. He has worked alongside top physiotherapists, and sports teams such as the Sydney Swans, ensuring his clients get the most comprehensive care possible.

When he’s not helping others move better, you’ll find Roberto staying active himself - hiking, strength training, and taking on new challenges. He’s always looking for ways to grow, both personally and professionally, so his clients get the best support on their journey to recovery and peak performance.
