Boost your independence through occupational therapy

“Explaining your symptoms to people can be hard. I haven’t had that issue with my MS Plus OT, she understood very quickly,” said MS Plus client, Louise.

Occupational therapy (OT) can help people living with MS and other neurological conditions with everyday activities they may find challenging. Whether it’s for fun, work or self-care – you can and should continue doing what matters to you, safely.

Our occupational therapists are problem solvers and can suggest practical strategies, assistive technology and home modifications to address your symptoms and help you live a meaningful life.

Louise's OT, Betty Kuokopens in new tab said, “People describe their symptoms as unpredictable and unique, which can really impact daily activities. Occupational therapy can help you keep up a regular lifestyle despite these changes.”

“I was guided by Louise about what was important to her. Then we just took it step by step to achieve what she envisioned and aimed for.

“We have a supportive team [at MS Plus] who genuinely enjoy helping others to achieve their goals and celebrate both the little and the big wins!” Betty said.

“Betty seems to understand exactly what I’m wanting. She is the reason my bathroom upgrade is finally approved after 3 years of writing to the NDIS on my behalf,” Louise said.

If your symptoms are stopping you from doing the things you want to do – we can help.
