A person’s ability to operate functionally in any particular aspect of their lives can sometimes be negatively affected as a result of injury, illness or disability. It is the job of the Occupational Therapist to identify the functions which are most problematic to each patient, and devise an individualized treatment programme for that person.
Our Occupational Therapy team is made up of Stephanie LLanos and Sigrid Minguell. They treat patients of all age ranges and from all walks of life. Their collective goal is focused on regaining maximum functionality for every one of their patients, in an effort to return them safely to a full range of activities with success and independence.
