At Rehab Taranaki Ltd an occupational therapist, alongside a multidisciplinary team, can assist with your recovery following a concussion, chronic pain or other injury.
We also work with clients who have experienced sexual assault/abuse enabling them to reintegrate back into their lives.
Our goals are client centred and focus on completing occupations such as activities of daily living, leisure, community activities or work.
We provide education and strategies to help you achieve your goals. While we predominantly work from our centrally located clinic, we can see you at your home, workplace or in the community.
We work with the following ACC contracts:

WHAT IS OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?
Occupational therapy/whakaora ngangahau is a registered health profession:
A client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy [whakaora ngangahau] is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life.
Occupational therapists [kaiwhakaora ngangahau] achieve this by working with people and communities to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do; or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational therapy engagement.
