Occupational Therapists in Johannesburg

They commonly see patients with workplace-related injuries, hand and upper limb conditions, neurological conditions such as stroke, developmental or sensory processing difficulties in children, and functional challenges linked to mental health conditions. The specific focus can vary between practitioners.

A practitioner usually takes a history, assesses how a condition affects daily activities such as work, school or self-care tasks, and may conduct physical, cognitive or sensory assessments. This informs a discussion of possible intervention goals and a treatment plan suited to the individual.

This can depend on the practitioner and on medical aid requirements. Some patients are referred by a doctor, physiotherapist or psychologist, while others may self-refer. It is advisable to check directly with the practice and with your medical scheme regarding referral and claims requirements.
