We are occupational therapists, an obscure profession if there ever was one. We are few and far between, maybe because we have chosen to serve people with disabilities. All disabilities. Not a glamorous endeavour, nor a lucrative one. And we say serve because we deem that in helping we see weakness, while in serving we see wholeness. We’ve opted for wholeness nearly a century ago and have been at odds with the system ever since. We don’t fix people, you see: with them, we simply try to find a way to meaning, balance, and justice. We chose occupational therapy because it blends science and humanism, intellectual rigour and compassion.

🥳 Happy World OT Day! We are Occupational Therapy in Action! 🚀
Today, October 27th, we are celebrating the life-changing power of Occupational Therapy worldwide!
If you've ever wondered what an OT really does, think of it this way: We are the bridge between challenge and meaningful participation. We don't just help people move, we help them live fully by focusing on the activities that matter most.
What does "OT in Action" look like?
💚 In Paediatrics: It's helping a child learn to hold a pencil, tie their shoes, or manage sensory overloads so they can thrive in school and on the playground.
💚 In Rehabilitation: It's using high-tech tools and task-specific practice to help a stroke survivor cook a meal or get back to driving.
💚 In Mental Health: It's supporting someone in creating a daily routine, finding fulfilling leisure activities, and building the life skills needed to manage anxiety or depression.
💚 In Aged Care: It's adapting a home environment to prevent falls, making sure someone can safely get dressed, and maintaining their independence and dignity.
Every time we help a client find a new way to do an old task, adapt their environment, or pursue a valued hobby, we are putting

Occupational Therapy in Action!

Mobility and Daily Living Skills for Today's Stroke Clients 🧠💪

The journey after a stroke is profoundly personal and often challenging, yet the landscape of rehabilitation has never been more advanced or hopeful. Today's stroke clients have benefited from our holistic OTs Gaynor and Leeanne,
Leeanne explains that we have provided an high-intensity approach that moves beyond simple recovery to focus on regaining meaningful independence in mobility and daily living skills.

For example: Mobility for many survivors is their immediate goal they want to get moving again. Modern rehabilitation taps into the brain's incredible capacity to rewire itself, known as neuroplasticity, using focused, repetitive, and task-specific training.
💠Technology-Assisted Rehab: Tools like advanced robotics, functional electrical stimulation (FES), are revolutionising mobility. VR, for example, can make repetitive exercises more engaging and provide visual/audio cues to address issues like visuospatial neglect. These technologies allow for the high-intensity, high-repetition practice necessary for the brain to create new pathways.

💠Targeted Therapy: Techniques like joint mobilisation and active stretching are being effectively combined to improve range of motion, balance, and gait. Extended, progressive, and aggressive home-based exercise programs are also showing significant results in improving walking and endurance long after acute care has finished.

Regaining function in everyday tasks—or Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) like dressing, bathing, and cooking, is where independence truly blossoms. This is our domain of Occupational Therapy (OT).
💠 Task-Specific Practice: OT focuses on relearning and adapting these critical life skills. Therapists work with clients to practice the exact tasks they want to improve, ensuring the practice is salient (meaningful and relevant) to the individual's life.
💠 Adaptive Strategies and Aids: For tasks that remain difficult, simple but effective daily living aids and home modifications can make a huge difference. This might involve adapted cutlery, dressing aids, or simple re-arrangements to place frequently used items within easy reach. The goal is to maximize safety and autonomy in the home environment.
💠The Emotional and Cognitive Connection: Modern support also recognises the profound emotional and cognitive toll of stroke. OT and other therapies often integrate cognitive rehabilitation (memory games, puzzles) and address mental well-being to ensure survivors have the focus and emotional resilience needed for consistent practice and long-term success.
The message for today's stroke clients is one of sustained effort and potential. By adhering to the principles of intensity, specificity, and repetition, and leveraging the cutting-edge tools now available, the path to a richer, more independent life is clearer than ever.
