Your OT will complete an initial assessment and followup interventions to prevent falls, increase accessibility, and to promote and maintain your independence at home.
After your initial assessment, recommedations may be made for equipment to enable you to keep living the life you wish to live. Utilizing a range of equipment suppliers allows me to ensure you get the right piece of equipment for YOU.
Feeling unsafe in the shower? Can’t get that walker up and over that door threshold? There’s a rail and ramp for that! I can prescribe home modifications and refer to your local Home Assist, or a qualified mobility and access builder.
As a certified Lymphoedema Therapist, I can work with your GP to assist in the management of your Lymphoedema through the treatment protocol of manual lymphatic drainage, bandaging, and compression garment prescriptions.
