Molendinar Occupational Therapy Industry Leaders
Move better, live better - Let our Occupational Therapists support you through your daily activities and help build your capacity so you can be more independent TODAY.
At Physio Inq, our Occupational Therapy (OT) services are dedicated to helping you live a life with fewer limits. We focus on the "occupations" of daily life; the activities you want and need to do, to ensure you can live safely, independently, and meaningfully in your own environment.
What is Occupational Therapy (OT)?
Occupational therapy focuses on helping people take part in meaningful daily activities, by improving the fit between the person, their environment and what they want or need to do.
Our therapists support people of all ages living with disability, injury or age-related change. Whether it’s dressing, cooking, driving, working or learning, we help build the skills, confidence and setup needed to live a life with less limits.
Occupational Therapy vs Physiotherapy: What’s the Difference?
Physiotherapists focus on improving how the body moves and functions: such as strength, balance, and pain management.
Occupational therapists focus on helping people use those physical abilities in everyday life: cooking, dressing, working, studying or socialising.
Both professions often work together. Learn more about our Physiotherapy services
Why you might need an Occupational Therapist
You may benefit from working with an occupational therapist if you:
- are living with a physical disability or long-term health condition
- are recovering from an illness, injury, or surgery
- have learning or developmental challenges
- are experiencing changes in mood, memory, or mental health
- are getting older and want to stay safe and independent at home
Occupational therapy focuses on helping you continue to do the everyday activities that matter most, safely and confidently.
What to Expect from Your Home OT Sessions
A home-based OT session is highly functional. Because we see you in your actual living environment, we can identify barriers and opportunities that a clinic setting might miss.
Key Services and Interventions
Our Occupational Therapists provide a range of targeted interventions designed to improve your quality of life:
- Assistive Technology and Equipment Prescription: We conduct professional assessments and trials for equipment that makes life easier, such as wheelchairs, modified kitchen aids, specialised seating, and lift chairs. We ensure the technology fits both your body and your home.
- Minor and Major Home Modification Assessments: To improve safety and accessibility, we evaluate your home for modifications. This includes everything from simple bathroom grab rails and ramps to structural changes like wet-room conversions.
- Functional Capacity and Skill-Building Programs: We develop practical routines for "Activities of Daily Living" (ADLs). This includes training for cooking, dressing, personal hygiene, and building the confidence to access the community independently.
- Sensory Processing and Cognitive Retraining: We provide strategies for self-regulation, memory improvement, and executive functioning. This is vital for clients managing neurological conditions or mental health challenges to support better participation in daily tasks.
- Upper Limb and Fine Motor Rehabilitation: Tailored therapy to regain hand and arm function following an injury, surgery, or stroke. For our paediatric clients, this often focuses on handwriting and coordination skills.
All our therapists are registered with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia, ensuring you receive care that meets national clinical standards.
