Rusden St Physio is excited to be expanding their services to include an Occupational Therapist (OT). This is something we have wanted to provide for a while as it means our patients can get a more complete allied health package. But what can an OT do for you and your families health?
Rehabilitation and aged care:
Helping clients regain or enhance their daily lives after specific events such as hip replacement or stroke is an important part of an OT’s job. They can assess and modify a clients’ home and community environments to improve their safety and independence.Acute care:
OT’s provide specialist interventions in various health conditions including surgery, after a long hospital stay and acute mental health. They assess needs and monitor function and progress.
