Occupational therapy consultation
We provide occupational therapy in Lillington, Leamington Spa, for adults who experience challenges in daily activities due to physical, cognitive, or environmental barriers. Whether you are recovering from an injury, adapting to a long-term condition, or struggling with everyday tasks, our goal is to help you improve independence to participate in the activities that matter most to you.
What is an occupational therapy consultation?
Your occupational therapy session can take place at our clinic or in your home and typically lasts around one hour. It includes a comprehensive assessment to understand how your health condition impacts your daily activities. The goal is to identify barriers to function, explore your priorities and goals, and develop a tailored treatment plan to help you engage in the activities that matter most to you. Sessions provide an opportunity to address physical, cognitive, and psychological factors that may be impacting your independence and well-being, ensuring that solutions are practical, sustainable, and aligned with your lifestyle.
Occupational therapy plays a key role in a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation and long-term health. Research shows that combining physiotherapy with occupational therapy can significantly enhance recovery outcomes, leading to long-lasting results. This integration is particularly beneficial for chronic pain management, functional rehabilitation, and promoting independent living for longer.
