Occupational Therapy (OT) is a healthcare profession that helps people of all ages carry out the everyday activities known as “occupations” that are meaningful and important to them. This support is especially valuable after an injury, illness, hospital stay, or when living with a disability or long‑term condition.
OTs focus on enabling people to live as independently, safely, and confidently as possible by adapting tasks, environments, and routines to suit each person’s needs.
