Our Therapists work to improve independence in performing everyday tasks. We do this by addressing the underlying cause of impairments through therapeutic exercise and activities, as well as by teaching adaptive strategies to compensate for physical limitations.

Cognition refers to a person’s ability to think and process information and includes aspects such as memory, attention and visuospatial skills, as well as executive functions such as planning and problem solving.  Cognitive skills are important in all aspects of daily life but can be impacted by a range of healthcare conditions. Cognitive rehabilitation includes training specific skills and developing contextually appropriate compensatory strategies.

We use our hands in almost everything that we do on a day-to-day basis, making rehabilitation of hand conditions tremendously important for improving quality of life. Hand therapy can include a variety of techniques such as therapeutic exercise and activities, custom made splints and adaptive equipment to improve function. We treat orthopaedic, neurological, and chronic hand conditions. 

The aim of Occupational Therapy that is focused on palliative care, is to support living in the face of death. This is accomplished by using a person-centred compassionate approach to understand what matters to the patient and their family. Our approach to support oncology patients is to enable them to participate in both essential and valued activities, promote dignity and improve their everyday quality of life. 

As Occupational Therapists we believe that people find meaning in “doing’’. If an accident, illness or injury prevents you from engaging in the activities and life roles that give your life meaning, this is where Occupational Therapy can assist you to recover that sense of purpose.
