What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a type of therapy that helps people with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities to participate in activities of daily living. It can also help people who are recovering from injuries or illnesses.

If you're looking to develop self-confidence and independence, or just want to feel safer and more in control of daily life, occupational therapy may be the answer.

Crescent is committed to helping you reach your best.

Get support from leading occupational therapists

Crescent's occupational therapy services are backed by a leading team of skilled occupational therapists. When you book in with us, you'll be assigned a therapist who will work with you throughout your stay. They will assess your needs and provide you with tailored care through several sessions, helping you understand what needs to be worked on and guiding you as you work on yourself. 

Of course, care doesn't stop there. Like our other services, your therapist will work with the rest of our team to create a treatment plan for you to take home. This way, you get a holistic and well-rounded plan with all bases covered. Whether you're at Crescent or in the comfort of your own home, we want to make sure you can get the care you need and continue to grow.

If you have a current treatment plan we can modify it and build on it where necessary to ensure things stay on track. Discuss your needs with us today and we can provide you with more information.
