Individuals who have suffered from brain injuries often face cognitive challenges that can make it difficult for them to lead a functional life.

At Balvir Kaur Access to Therapy and Independence Limited, we use a therapeutic approach to relearn cognitive skills that have changed or been lost following damage to the brain. We focus on the assessment and treatment of cognitive, perceptual, sensory, and physical impairments and referral to other specialist services.

  • We consider the psycho-social aspects and roles that our clients undertake and the impact of individual physical and cognitive changes on our clients.
  • We create a personalised plan designed to reach their recovery goals.
  • We help our clients retrain and practice cognitive skills such as memory, organization, sequencing, processing, sensory, problem-solving, and more.
  • We educate our clients about how their brain injury has affected their lives and address issues such as organisation, memory recall, and socialising with other people.
  • Our goal is to develop compensatory and restorative strategies that can be applied to daily life, such as breaking down complex ideas into step-by-step tasks, creating a structured daily routine, and developing problem-solving strategies.
  • As part of our personalised approach to Occupational Therapy, we involve both the client and their family and offer total support along the way.
  • We use clear and agreed outcome measures.

After a stroke or surgery, individuals may face difficulties that affect their daily activities, such as physical, memory, thinking, vision, or emotional problems. We provide early assessment by our Occupational Therapist to evaluate our client’s abilities, routines, and home environment. Our Occupational Therapist and client work together to create a personalised rehabilitation plan, set achievable goals, and find ways to overcome difficulties. Therapeutic activities, new ways of doing things, or equipment may be suggested by the therapist. Depending on our client’s needs, our occupational therapist may:

  • Assess their difficulties and explain them to our clients and their family and adapt activities to improve their abilities and independence.
  • Teach strategies and techniques to overcome difficulties.
  • Provide psychological support and refer them for specialist help if necessary.
  • Advise on physical support to move around safely, We recommend aids and equipment such as wheelchairs
  • Visit their home to suggest useful changes and assess the suitability of their accommodation.
  • Advise on our client’s return to work and help their carers to best support them.

Balvir Kaur Access to Therapy and Independence Limited offers Occupational Therapy to individuals who face difficulties in performing their daily tasks due to various health conditions such as orthopeadic injuries, heart conditions, amputation, fatigue, pain or cognitive impairments.

These difficulties may include:

  • Managing personal care such as (washing, dressing, styling hair, getting in and out of the bath or shower).
  • Domestic tasks such as (cooking, cleaning, managing finances, laundry, or shopping).
  • Work or educational tasks, or difficulties in fulfilling previous roles such as being a parent.
  • We provide rehabilitation services to help our clients with transport problems, such as accessing the community, wheelchair assessments, recommendations and advice on driving post-injury.
  • We understand that structuring our clients’ day and enabling them to feel fulfilled and productive is crucial to keeping them motivated and promoting an active mind.

Seating and postural management refer to how we position our bodies while awake or asleep. Proper positioning can have various benefits such as efficient digestion, respiratory function, comfort and pressure relief. For some people, finding the right chair for daytime use may be enough, while others with more complex needs may require a comprehensive review of their 24-hour support, including nighttime positioning. Even if sitting or standing becomes difficult or painful due to injury, illness, or aging, there are practical steps we can take to make these tasks more manageable. Our Occupational Therapists can provide the right tools, exercises, and support to help you improve your mobility, and posture and get back to enjoying life without discomfort. Together, we will explore the options and find the best solution for you.

Our therapy focuses on treating chronic spasticity, identifying impairments and tailoring the treatment plan to meet individual goals. Our therapists use coaching strategies to help our clients learn and implement new skills, resulting in increased participation and confidence. This promotes self-efficacy and motivation, resulting in lasting changes in behaviour.

  • We undertake initial assessment of the affected upper limb and analyse the movement and performance of daily activities.
  • We consider the varying impairments that our clients may experience including spasticity, loss of joint and soft tissue range, shoulder joint position changes, patterns of weakness, apraxia, increased muscle tone, muscle spasms, neglect and inattention, sensory loss, cognitive deficits, pain, fatigue, and depression.
  • We often use manual techniques to optimise and improve an impairment, including mobilising joints and muscles in the shoulder, elbow, forearm and hand to improve range of motion, training sensory discrimination, and sensory-motor integration, lengthening and strengthening muscles to ensure they are at biomechanical force.
  • Motor recovery is focused on task specific training, re–education of quality and control of movement within their daily activities, as well as improving postural control, tone, grip, and balance to reduce impairments.
  • Our clients will practice meaningful tasks repeatedly to master the task at hand, focusing on the quality of movement.
  • We may focus on forms of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), repetitive task training (RTT), using orthotics or robotics for neurological recovery.

At Balvir Kaur Access to Therapy and Independence Limited, we understand the importance of managing fatigue, rest, and work, allowing our clients to realise their goals and stretch their capabilities and save energy levels. We advise our clients to learn how to pace, plan, and prioritise their daily activities, which will help our clients to save energy. Our Occupational Therapists work with our clients to break down tasks and develop individual strategic rehabilitation programmes.

  • We believe that planning, creating routines, and pacing oneself are important to ensure that there is enough energy to complete tasks.
  • We recommend breaking activities into smaller tasks and spreading them throughout the day.
  • We advise adjusting different parts of an activity to reduce energy demands.
  • It is important to include rest periods in activities, as this is crucial for recharging energy levels. Whenever possible, stop, pause, and rest between activities.
  • We suggest using a planner to measure and track energy levels.
