Water therapy made safe and easy! 💧🤗
Our hoist chair at Off Nicol is a vital tool that helps patients with limited mobility safely and comfortably enter the water. Ideal for those with limited mobility, it ensures smooth transitions into the water, minimizing strain on the body.

This chair is an essential part of our commitment to making aquatherapy accessible to everyone – regardless of mobility challenges. 💧
Safe, gentle, and effective water therapy starts with the right support. ✅

🛣️ Thinking of driving again after illness or injury?
It’s not just about getting back behind the wheel—it’s about doing it safely.

✅ Step 1: Get medical clearance
✅ Step 2: Book an office based assessment with a trained occupational therapist
✅ Step 3: Complete an on-road driving evaluation

Many people—patients, doctors, and therapists—don’t realise that fitness to drive needs a proper evaluation. That’s where Driver Fitness Coalition steps in.

We train OTs to assess driving ability safely and confidently.

Overstimulation is one of the most common effects of brain injury. During the holidays, many brain injury survivors will find themselves facing more overstimulation than normal. This stimulation can cause additional brain fatigue and stress, and in some situations, both fear and panic set in. It can also cause frustration for someone who is going through it or for loved ones who don’t understand it. If you or a loved one struggles with overstimulation, see our six tips for navigating the holidays with a brain injury: https://bit.ly/3EBU2O5

Love this post! Setbacks are always a tough part of the wellness journey but they are not always a “sign” to be feared. We need to reflect on what and why our body is responding in this way so that we can learn our boundaries and implement helpful practices for the future. Set-back/flare-up prevention and management plans are an integral part of chronic condition management. These questions are a helpful starting point.
