Occupational Therapy focuses on helping individuals regain independence and confidence in everyday activities. Whether recovering from injury, managing a long-term condition, or adapting to physical limitations, occupational therapy supports people in returning to meaningful daily tasks.
At iPersonal Physiotherapy, our occupational therapy services are centred around practical solutions that improve function at home, work, and in the community. We take a personalised, goal-oriented approach to help you live safely, comfortably, and independently.
