About the service

What is adult occupational therapy?

Adult occupational therapy helps people take part in the everyday activities that matter to their health, independence and quality of life. It may address self-care, household responsibilities, functional mobility, work, leisure and community participation.

At Theracure, assessment and treatment are planned around the individual's present abilities, limitations, environment and personal goals. Intervention may include task practice, adaptive techniques, assistive equipment, energy conservation, home-safety recommendations and family education.

Who can benefit

What to expect

It begins with understanding what the person needs and wants to do in everyday life.

Initial discussion

We understand the person's concerns, routines, priorities and the activities they want to do more independently.

Functional assessment

The therapist assesses relevant physical, cognitive, perceptual, environmental and daily-living factors.

Goal-led plan

A personalised plan is built around practical, measurable and meaningful goals.

Therapy & review

Activities, strategies and equipment recommendations are reviewed and adjusted over time.

Treatment focus

Daily living & instrumental activities

Therapy may address Activities of Daily Living such as bathing, toileting, dressing, eating, grooming, functional mobility and personal-device care.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

An occupational therapist assesses how illness, injury, disability or age-related changes affect everyday activities. Therapy may include task practice, adaptive strategies, assistive devices, environmental changes and caregiver education.

Adults recovering from stroke, surgery, neurological conditions, injuries, reduced mobility or age-related functional decline may benefit when these challenges affect self-care, household tasks, work or community participation.

Physiotherapy commonly focuses on movement, strength, pain and physical recovery. Occupational therapy focuses on enabling the person to perform meaningful daily activities safely and independently. The two services may be used together.

Yes. Home-based occupational therapy may be appropriate when the therapist needs to assess daily routines, transfers, accessibility, safety or the use of assistive equipment in the person's usual environment.

Theracure offers online consultation where appropriate. Suitability depends on the person's goals, condition, safety needs and whether a hands-on assessment is required.
