Occupational Therapy is so much more than equipment provision, but let’s not underestimate just how life-changing the right equipment can be! 💚 It’s never just about the equipment. It’s about what it enables someone to do. ✨ #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #nhs #heathcare #physiotherapy

Save this! 📌 A hospital stay shouldn’t mean losing your independence. As an Occupational Therapist, I always encourage patients to keep doing what they safely can for themselves. Small everyday activities can make a BIG difference to recovery! 💚 #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #rehab…

Some people genuinely don’t have the capacity to care for their parents at home, and sometimes considering a care home may be about making sure they’re safe, supported and properly cared for. But I also think one of the biggest questions has to be: what does the parent actually want? If they’re…

As an OT, I’ve heard so many clients talk about the judgement they get because they can stand or walk while also using a wheelchair. Seeing someone take a few steps doesn’t give you the full picture ♿️🧑‍🦽 #wheelchair #wheelchairuser #disability #disabilitytiktok #ambulatorywheelchairuser

If someone you know becomes disabled, don’t assume the friendship has to completely change. Have the conversation. Ask what they need, what they don’t, and how they want to be supported. Sometimes simply talking to the person is better than tiptoeing around them. #disability #disabilityawareness…

An OT assessment can help identify what equipment or adaptations best suit your needs. Contact your local council or GP to ask about an OT assessment. #ageing #nhs #elderly #occupationaltherapy #mobilityaid
