Occupational therapy at home
If you have any physical, emotional, cognitive or social difficulties that prevent you from carrying out your daily activities, you can count on us. Our occupational therapy service allows us to improve and maintain the functional capacity of our patients in their daily lives.
How is it defined?
According to the World Health Organisation, occupational therapy «is the set of techniques, methods and actions which, through activities applied for therapeutic purposes, prevent illness and maintain health, favour the restoration of function, replace incapacitating deficiencies and assess behavioural assumptions and their profound significance in order to achieve the greatest possible independence and reintegration of the individual in all aspects: work, mental, physical and social.»
