Daily actions, such as getting dressed, eating and shopping, often go by themselves / automatically. If daily activities are no longer self-evident due to disability or illness, the occupational therapist can be necessary and of great importance. So are the occupational therapists at Pieters Behandel Praktijk.
The basic principle of occupational therapy is that people can participate as much as possible in daily life. The occupational therapist looks at what someone can still do and, together with the client, looks at the possibilities to pick up these activities again. The occupational therapist can also advise to use an aid or provide information to informal carers or other care providers who may already be able to help the client. They provide advice and training to enable them to do daily activities independently again, so that they can participate more effectively in society. This increases the possibility to function at home (longer).
When occupational therapy?
The enthusiastic team of occupational therapists at Pieters Behandel Praktijk is available every day and can advise, guide and/or provide training in daily activities, such as:
Adjusting an activity or the environment Overloading or underloading: balancing load and load capacity In Parkinson’s disease Day activities and daily schedule Fall prevention (safety in the home) In case of cognitive or behavioral problems (e.g. after a CVA) In case of dementia (as much as possible to maintain independence, but also to support the informal carer and/or care for dealing with the client) General daily living activities, such as dressing/undressing, washing, putting on/taking off compression stockings, inserting and using an aid
