3 Common Occupational Therapy Myths Busted with Physio Inq! 💡
Physio Inq Occupational Therapists work with people to complete the activities that they need and want to do each and every single day, with the goal of personalisation being at the forefront. However there are several misconceptions about what OTs do and how it can be beneficial.
Let's break down some of the most common myths:
❌ Myth 1: OT is only for basic self-care tasks
✅ Truth: OTs support people to build skills and independence in all areas of daily life, from self-care and home tasks to work, education, and community participation.
❌ Myth 2: OT is only for people recovering from injuries
✅ Truth: OTs work with people of all ages and abilities, supporting those with disabilities, chronic conditions, mental health needs, and anyone wanting to improve their daily function and quality of life.
❌ Myth 3: Children will catch up on their own without OT support
✅ Truth: Early OT intervention helps children build confidence, develop motor and sensory skills, and thrive at home and school.
