What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy aspires to promote the health and wellbeing of individuals by enhancing engagement in activities that provide meaning, purpose and significance to individuals. Pain management within Occupational Therapy does not just focus on pain management, but rather considering functional goals and challenges encountered, offering strategies for functional capacity opportunities.
Through the use of assessments and interventions, specifically targeted to address the needs of the individual, Occupational Therapy can help you to work on goal progression and building capacity to regain greater control over their life. Occupational Therapy takes a holistic approach to your journey, considering the biopsychosocial factors that either promote or hinder engagement. Such allows for a targeted intervention plan that are specific to you and your own needs and goals.
