Astralis Stroke Occupational Therapy Services

At Astralis, we believe that evidence-based neurological rehabilitation can support you in achieving your goals. We can support you in each of the following areas:

Our therapists customise strengthening and movement programs to optimise the activity and use of your arm based on your activity goals. 

Our upper limb therapy includes hand strength and dexterity. Our therapy is goal directed and supports you in recovering essential work and life skills such as handwriting, typing, dressing and other fine motor tasks.

Our sensory retraining program can support you in the recovery of how your body understands various sensations and improve your daily functioning.

Our cognitive rehabilitation programs are designed to help you recover from brain injuries or cognitive impairments. We provide customised therapy plans that include cognitive exercises, compensatory strategies, and education on how to manage symptoms. 

Our therapists can support you to adjust to the world around you when it appears differently. This includes customised therapy to help you recognise visual images and objects, learn how to apply strategies to overcome visual changes, and engage in functional tasks such as reading and computer use. 

Our therapists can help you to adjust to the changes caused by your injury by teaching you new ways to complete a task. We may assist you in accessing and using aids to modify the task and increase your independence. Activities can be as simple as getting dressed or showering, to more complex tasks such as returning to work or driving.

The emotional adjustment to injury can be as significant as the physical adjustment. We provide you with strategies and support to cope with emotional changes, set goals and link you in with other professionals when needed.

We can support you in your application to the NDIS by completing a comprehensive and personal functional capacity assessment. If you are plan or self-managed, we can provide capacity building that is goal directed in any of the above areas.

We can support you in trialling and accessing basic equipment from reputable suppliers under various funding options. Our therapists are trained in pressure care management and can educate and support you in maintaining your health and comfort.
