Occupational Therapy

Our Team of Occupational Therapists can help you make life easier.

Occupational Therapists can assist you to achieve specific practical goals and improve confidence and independence in everyday living through:

• Functional capacity assessment and review – evaluating your abilities and identifying areas where support or therapy can make the biggest difference.
• Activities of daily living assessment and retraining – helping you regain independence with tasks such as dressing, cooking, showering, and other self-care routines.
• Low and mid cost assistive technology and equipment support – recommending and training you on devices such as adaptive equipment, shower chairs, or falls alarms.
• Arm and hand function assessment and retraining – exercises and techniques to improve strength, coordination, and movement.
• Home workstation ergonomic assessment and modifications – make your work or study setup safer and more comfortable.
• Home assessment and minor modifications – simple changes like installing grab rails, small remaps, or other safety adjustments to make your home easier to navigate.
• Memory and cognitive assessment and strategies – helping you manage memory, planning, and problem-solving challenges with practical tools for everyday life.
• SDA Eligibility Assessments – complete comprehensive Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Eligibility Assessments, including functional capacity assessments, housing and support needs analysis, and detailed evidence-based reports that demonstrate how specialised accommodation will improve your safety, independence, and quality of life.

We’re here for your movement journey

When you connect with MS Queensland Allied Health Service, you’ll be working with an Allied Health Professional who understands your neurological condition and its daily impact. Our team understands the challenges you face, and they can offer a practical management strategy for each symptom.

Neurological conditions can be unpredictable, so if you experience any challenges in day-to-day activities, even minor ones, please get in touch. While living with MS or a neurological condition can be complex, contacting our physiotherapy team is simple.
