25.01.2022 So important to hear and share these stories. We work with many clients and their families who have a form of Dementia or other neurological condition. www.otwest.com.au

24.01.2022 A fantastic podcast - Youll hear how regular exercise and everyday physical activity helps brain function and how easy this can be - as simple as walking your dog or doing physical tasks around your home - and the sooner you start and maintain this exercise the better for your brain. OTWEST OTs work with people of all ages to help identify what you could be doing to improve your brain function and mood. See our website www.otwest.com.au for more information. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b065ssr8

15.01.2022 Some really interesting research happening from our OT colleagues at TADWA- the role of Virtual Reality as an intervention for chronic pain.

15.01.2022 We all known the importance that a pet can play in our lives. Having a pet gives you a meaningful purpose, routine, engagement and mood enhancement (all these words are key in occupational therapy)

15.01.2022 We love being OTs!!!

15.01.2022 This is a fantastic idea!!!

13.01.2022 How amazing if there was one of these parks in every country. Every state would be better. We love everything about this and accessible design

11.01.2022 Here at OTWEST we love this movement of decorating orPimping Zimmer Frames to personalise them. Typically the grey Zimmer Frames can be hard to identify in crowded places like nursing homes, hospitals, day centres. This is especially for people with vision impairments and Dementia like syndromes. Our OTs are going to try this with some of their clients and we will post some photos.

10.01.2022 We love the role that music plays in our life! Music has a strong link to both memory and emotion. A 2009 study by cognitive neuroscientist Petr Janata used fMRI studies to show that songs with strong emotional connection were linked to the Medial Pre-frontal Cortex. Coincidently the Medical Prefrontal Cortex is one of the last areas of the brain to Atrophy in people with Alzheimers Disease. Here at O.TWEST we love to use music as a treatment modality with all our clients :)

09.01.2022 We love this story!!!

06.01.2022 As Occupational Therapists we know how that the range of adaptive clothing is very limited and also not fashionable at all. We are beyond impressed at the ingenuity of Tommy Adaptive and thank Josh for bringing our awareness!! Now lets hope they ship to Australia.

02.01.2022 Our Principal Occupational Therapist Sharon Deannespent some time in Spain this year and was amazed at the amount of elderly spending time exercising in their communities. We hope one day Perth can create more opportunities for elderly fitness programs. https://www.youtube.com/watch
