Our team is highly skilled in assessing, scripting, and providing education and training related to wheelchair seating. We offer comprehensive evaluations that take into account each individual's unique physical and functional needs. Our goal is to ensure that our clients achieve optimal comfort, mobility, and independence through appropriate seating solutions.
During our assessments, we carefully consider factors such as postural support, pressure distribution, and overall comfort. By conducting thorough evaluations, we can recommend seating systems that address specific challenges and promote proper alignment and positioning.
Education and training are integral components of our services. We believe in equipping our clients, their families, and caregivers with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively utilise wheelchair seating equipment. Through informative sessions and practical demonstrations, we empower individuals to make informed decisions and maintain optimal seating support.
As OT’s, we understand the significance of activities of daily living and their impact on overall well-being. Our comprehensive ADL assessments are tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. We evaluate various areas, including self-care, mobility, home management, and community participation, to identify strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement.
Our interventions are designed to enhance skills and provide practical strategies to overcome barriers in performing daily activities. We work closely with individuals, considering their physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities, to develop realistic goals and support them in achieving meaningful outcomes.
Our interventions encompass a range of evidence-based techniques and approaches. Through therapeutic exercises, adaptive equipment recommendations, environmental modifications, and skill-building activities, we help individuals optimise their independence and participation in daily life tasks.
Our upper limb assessments are tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. We thoroughly evaluate factors such as strength, range of motion, coordination, and sensory function to gain a comprehensive understanding of their upper limb abilities.
Based on this, we develop upper limb programs that are evidence-based and designed to improve upper limb function and address limitations in activities such as self-care, work tasks, and leisure activities.
