Cairns occupational therapy treatment, support and assessment is now available at Wellness Embodied. Our Cairns Occupational Therapist, Jesse Booysen, is passionate about providing professional and supportive treatments, tailored to the goals and requirements of individual clients. She is based in Cairns, but also travels to our northern clinic to provide Cooktown occupational therapy services.
Occupational Therapists are AHPRA registered health professionals, trained to improve clients’ independence and function, in all activities of their daily life. Our caring Cairns Occupational Therapist Jesse is committed to maximising every individual’s ability to be as independent as possible, in their everyday lives. Home assessments can be arranged, in Cairns and Cooktown, which allow Jesse to complete a thorough review of your circumstances and property, then provide advice on the specific aids, devices and technology, which might enhance your ability to complete daily tasks with renewed confidence and capacity.
Our OT works with clients of all ages, who are either in recovery from an accident or have physical impairments from conditions such as: Parkinson’s Disease, Functional Neurological Disorders, Stroke, Cerebral Palsy, Developmental Delay, Post Operative, Chronic Disease and Autism. Occupational therapy Cairns and Cooktown assessments can be completed for the purpose of obtaining assistive technology from NDIS, as well as performing home modifications or obtaining aids to support everyday tasks. Advice and treatment is focussed on enhancing health and wellbeing around the house and in community.
At Wellness Embodied we always take a holistic, client centred approach to treatment, focussing on the person not the symptom. At our Cairns Complete Concussion Clinic and through our work with NDIS clients, we see a range of people struggling with memory issues, focus, concentration and mood disturbances. Our Cairns Occupational Therapist works with these clients, helping them achieve their goals and making their day to day functioning, easier. Our OT rehabilitation services include but are not limited to, assessments, coaching and advice on items such as planning, executive functioning and cognitive retraining.
You can make an appointment to see our Cairns Occupational Therapist at our Scott Street clinic, or in Cooktown. Occupational therapy assessments generally take 45 minutes, with additional time for more complex assessments (e.g. Functional Capacity Assessment completion). During this assessment, our Cairns Occupational Therapist will look at your need for devices to assist with daily living tasks such as eating, washing, dressing or getting out into the community.
Jesse sees clients of all ages and takes a holistic, client centred approach to treatment and treatment planning.
