Occupational Therapy- more than just equipment

Being independent and maintaining a normal routine in your daily life is not just about being able to walk. There are many different aspects that you need to consider:

·       Your role and routine within the home

·       Having the energy to complete an activity- such as the gardening and cooking.

·       Having the correct environment and set up at home to enable you to complete the activity.

·       Incorporating strategies/adaptions to enable you to complete the activity.

·       Your mental health and wellbeing.
