Stroke & Upper Limb Rehabilitation OT Brisbane
After a stroke, injury or neurological condition, using your arm and hand for everyday tasks can be hard. Our occupational therapists provide upper limb rehabilitation in your own home, focused on the tasks that matter to you, such as dressing, cooking, eating and writing.
Who this is for
- People recovering from stroke or brain injury
- People with weakness, stiffness or reduced coordination in the arm or hand
- People with neurological conditions affecting hand function
- People returning home from hospital or inpatient rehabilitation
How we help
- Assessment of arm and hand movement, strength, coordination and how this affects daily tasks
- Goal-based practice of real tasks at home, such as dressing, grooming, eating and kitchen tasks
- A home exercise and task-practice program to keep progress going between visits
- Advice on equipment and set-up that makes one-handed or reduced-strength tasks easier
- Education for family and carers so they can support practice safely
Why therapy at home
Practising in your own kitchen, bathroom and bedroom means the skills you work on are the ones you need every day, with the equipment and layout you actually use.
Funding we work with
- NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed (we cannot see NDIA-managed participants)
- Support at Home clients (formerly Home Care Packages), arranged with your provider
- DVA-funded clients
- Private clients

Common questions
Can you see me soon after leaving hospital?
Yes. New clients are usually seen within about one week. Let us know your discharge date when you contact us.

It depends on your goals and progress. We agree on a plan with you after the first assessment and review it as you go.
