Occupational therapy

We focus on helping people achieve independence in their daily activities. The main goal is for our patients to be able to return to activities that are meaningful and relevant to them, including work, leisure, personal care, and home care, among others.

Our team works with people of all ages and at different stages of life, from children to older adults. Patients may have a variety of needs, including mental health issues, physical or cognitive disabilities, traumatic injuries, chronic illnesses, and other conditions.

Our occupational therapists use assessment techniques to identify each patient's needs and abilities, and then work collaboratively with them to set treatment goals and design specific intervention plans to help them achieve those goals. Treatments may include training in daily living skills, physical exercises, coping techniques, recommendations for assistive devices, and emotional support.

RPG

Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) is a therapeutic method that aims to correct postural imbalances in the body. By applying the GPR method, we focus on the individual as a whole, rather than just treating symptoms or specific areas of the body. We base our approach on the concept that the body is an integrated system and that postural imbalances in one area can affect the entire body.
During a session, our therapists assess the patient's posture and identify any postural imbalances or asymmetries. The therapist then uses a series of exercises and stretches tailored to the patient's specific needs to help the body gradually return to a more balanced and aligned state.

The RPG method is often used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and joint pain. It can also be used to improve athletic performance, prevent injuries, and enhance overall body awareness.

Creation and moderation of thermoplastic splints

The creation and fitting of thermoplastic splints is a common procedure used in physical and occupational therapy. Splints are orthopedic devices designed to immobilize, stabilize, and protect injuries, fractures, injured tendons and muscles, and to correct deformities. Thermoplastic splints are particularly useful because they can be molded to the specific shape and size of the patient, making them more comfortable and effective.
The process of creating a thermoplastic splint involves several steps. First, we take precise measurements of the limb or area to be immobilized. Next, we cut a piece of thermoplastic material into the appropriate shape, usually using a pre-made mold or a thermoplastic sheet that is heated with hot water or a special torch. Once the thermoplastic material is sufficiently hot and flexible, we apply it to the injured or deformed area and mold it to the desired shape. After it has cooled and hardened, the splint is adjusted and held in place with the help of bandages, straps, or tape.
Maintenance of thermoplastic splints involves periodically adjusting them to ensure that they continue to fit well and provide the necessary stability and protection.
In addition, our patients receive adequate training and instructions on how to use and care for their thermoplastic splints to obtain the best therapeutic results.
