Sydenham Occupational Therapy Industry Leaders
Move better, live better - Let our Occupational Therapists support you through your daily activities and help build your capacity so you can be more independent TODAY.
At Physio Inq, our occupational therapy team helps people live more independently and confidently; wherever they feel most comfortable. We bring a full range of in-home and community-based occupational therapy services to you, saving time and reducing the stress of travel.
Occupational therapists work with people to make everyday activities easier, whether that means getting dressed, cooking a meal, or managing work or study. The goal is always to find the best fit between you, the activity, and the environment where it happens.
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy focuses on helping people take part in meaningful daily activities, by improving the fit between the person, their environment and what they want or need to do.Our therapists support people of all ages living with disability, injury or age-related change. Whether it’s dressing, cooking, driving, working or learning, we help build the skills, confidence and setup needed to live a life with less limits.
Occupational Therapy vs Physiotherapy: What’s the Difference?
Physiotherapists focus on improving how the body moves and functions: such as strength, balance, and pain management.Occupational therapists focus on helping people use those physical abilities in everyday life: cooking, dressing, working, studying or socialising.
Both professions often work together. Learn more about our Physiotherapy services
