Frequently Asked Questions
How is OT different from neuro physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy generally focuses on the physical aspects like improving walking, balance, and muscle strength. Occupational Therapy focuses on improving your ability to perform daily activities and roles, often through task adaptation, fatigue management, and cognitive strategies.
What is fatigue management?
It is a key OT strategy that involves learning to balance activity with rest. We teach techniques like pacing, planning, and prioritising tasks to help you manage your energy levels, reduce ‘boom and bust’ cycles, and participate more fully in life.
My condition is progressive. How can OT help?
OT is beneficial at all stages of a progressive condition. In the early stages, we can help you adapt work or hobbies. As things change, our focus may shift to maintaining safety, recommending equipment, and teaching carers new strategies to ensure you can live as independently as possible.
