Occupational Therapy in Neuro-Rehabilitation

Occupational therapists play a crucial role in the evaluation and treatment of individuals who have experienced neurological illnesses or injury. At Neu Living Occupation Therapist’s focus on providing holistic care. This begins with a comprehensive assessment that may involve interviewing both the patient and their family, a process which helps the therapist understand the patient’s medical, social, emotional and vocational history. With this information, the therapist can design a personalized treatment plan and evaluate the patient’s level of impairment across various functional areas.

Neurological injuries can affect different parts of the brain in subtle ways, often leading to unexpected functional impairments. Neu Living Occupational therapists are skilled in assessing how physical, cognitive, and behavioural impairments can impact on daily activities. Detailed activity analysis is used to guide the rehabilitation process and ensure targeted support. Standardised assessments are used to quantify deficits in motor skills, perception, attention, and executive functions. At Neu Living meaningful goals for rehabilitation are identified with clients, and where appropriate the family is involved in the goal-setting process. Throughout the recovery journey, the therapist will continually reassesses the our clients abilities and function, adjusting the treatment plan to ensure optimal clinical outcomes.

Our Occupational therapists empower clients and arm them with the skills needed to become independent and lead a fulfilling life following Neurological illness or injury. With access to experienced Neu Living therapists, our clients and families can trust that they are receiving the best possible care, tailored to their specific clinical needs. Occupational therapy helps individuals regain control of their lives, offering a path to greater independence and overall well-being.
