Occupational Therapy– The Occupational Therapist will work with you in order to maximise your independence and enjoyment of life.  Through advice and therapeutic interventions, they will help you adapt your environment to suit your needs, while helping you develop, recover and retain skills you need to continue living a fulfilling life.

Physiotherapist–  The physiotherapist’s goal is to improve a patient’s mobility, function, and overall well-being. Physical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and health and fitness are all benefits of physiotherapy. Apart from helping you overcome the pain, it can also help you expand your physical strength and overcome any dysfunction caused by an illness, injury or condition.

Podologist- The podologist will assist with issues affecting your lower legs or feet. S/he can assist you with injuries as well as help prevent complications resulting from chronic illnesses such as diabetes, through various testing and therapeutic interventions. Podologists also assist with circulatory foot problems, skin and nail infections, warts, ulcers etc.  They are also experts in foot biomechanics and will work specifically on the creation of tailor-made insoles etc.

Speech and language therapists– The therapist provides assessment, treatment, support and care for clients who have difficulties with communication, eating, drinking and swallowing. Clients who benefit from the services of a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) include those whose speech is slow to develop, older people whose ability to speak has been impaired by illness or injury, as well as those who have difficulty with eating or swallowing for various reasons.  The SLP can also advise on the use of Assistive Communication Devices which can help the individual communicate better with those around him.

Our therapists will work closely with yourself, your family and informal carers as well as your healthcare providers in order to ensure that you receive the best care possible, and that the kind of therapy you are receiving is continually adapting to your changing and evolving needs.  We assess individual needs and plan around needs and preferences of each client in order to promote positive change through therapeutic interactions.   Book an assessment today and start to reap the benefits of tailor-made holistic care as soon as possible!
