Our rehabilitation services are designed to help clients regain or improve their functional abilities after injury, illness, or due to the progression of chronic conditions.
Through personalised treatment plans, we focus on enhancing mobility, strength, and daily living skills, utilising a variety of therapeutic techniques and exercises tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.
Our approach not only aids physical recovery and cognitive performance but also boosts confidence and independence. -
Home Modifications
We offer home assessment and modification services to create safer, more accessible living environments for our clients.

Each modification is thoughtfully planned to meet the specific challenges and requirements of the client, ensuring they can navigate their homes safely and comfortably. -
Assistive Equipment
At Rockingham OT, we understand the critical role that the right assistive devices can play in enhancing daily life.
We provide comprehensive assessments to determine the most appropriate equipment for each individual’s needs, such as electric beds, seating, wheelchairs, or adaptive kitchen tools.
Our recommendations are based on thorough evaluations of each client’s environment, capabilities, and goals, ensuring that the prescribed equipment truly enhances their quality of life. -
Falls Prevention
Falls prevention is a crucial aspect of our services, especially for elderly clients. We conduct detailed risk assessments in the home or community settings to identify potential hazards and recommend practical interventions.
Our prevention strategies may include balance and strength training, environmental modifications, and education on safe practices at home.
These measures are aimed at reducing the risk of falls, thereby helping our clients maintain their independence and avoid injury.
