Life is a tapestry of activities—big and small, work and play, essential and meaningful. But sometimes, injuries, illnesses, disabilities, or other challenges can make these activities difficult or even impossible. That's where Occupational Therapy (OT) comes in.
OT is a client-centred allied health profession that empowers individuals to overcome challenges and participate fully in life. It takes a holistic approach, considering the whole person—their physical, emotional, and cognitive needs—and their unique environment.
At its core, OT focuses on helping individuals engage in meaningful activities, or "occupations." These occupations encompass everything we do in daily life—from self-care tasks like dressing and eating to work-related activities, leisure pursuits, and social interactions.
