✨ A Moment to Reflect: Caring for Your Brain as the Year Ends ✨

As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and give your brain a little gratitude. Reflection isn’t just good for the soul — it’s good for your cognitive health too.

Taking time to look back helps strengthen memory, emotional awareness, and perspective — all powerful tools for brain wellness.

Here’s a simple year-end reflection exercise:

📝 Recall: What are three moments you’re proud of this year?
💬 Connect: Who made a positive impact on your life?
💡 Learn: What did this year teach you about yourself?
🌱 Plan: What’s one small habit you’d like to carry into the new year to support your brain health?

Be kind to yourself as you reflect — every experience, challenge, and win has helped your brain grow and adapt.

✨ Here’s to a healthy, mindful start to the year ahead.

The holidays are a time to rest, reconnect, and reset — but they can also bring a mix of stress, disrupted routines, and overindulgence that can leave your brain feeling foggy.

Here are a few gentle reminders to help your brain stay healthy and happy this festive season:

🥦 Nourish well – Enjoy festive treats, but keep your plate colourful with veggies, proteins, and healthy fats that fuel your brain.
💤 Prioritise rest – Late nights are part of the fun, but good sleep helps your brain recharge and store memories.
🚶‍♀️ Keep moving – A simple walk, a swim, or dancing to your favourite song boosts mood and circulation.
💬 Connect meaningfully – Sharing stories and laughter with loved ones is one of the best brain boosters around.
🧘‍♀️ Take quiet moments – Slow down, breathe, and let your mind unwind.

🎄The team at Occupational Therapy Brisbane wishes you a joyful Christmas and a happy New Year! ✨

May your holidays be filled with laughter, warmth, and time spent with the people you care about.

Please note our holiday closure:

🕧 Closing at 12:30pm – Tuesday, 24th December
📅 Reopening – Monday, 5th January

We look forward to supporting your health and wellbeing in the new year. Thank you for being part of our community!

“𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧?”

Temporary memory loss affects hundreds of thousands of Australians each year — forgetting names, misplacing items, or feeling confused can be normal, but sometimes it’s more than that.

At the Brain Health Clinic, we help you understand the difference between everyday forgetfulness and memory changes that need attention.

Here's how we help you:

🧠 Understand your memory – Assess your short-term and temporary memory performance.
🛠 Take action early – Receive personalised strategies and exercises to support your memory.
💡 Practical support – Online or in-clinic assessments help you know where you stand and plan next steps.

Memory changes don’t have to be confusing or frightening. With the right assessment and guidance, you can take control of your cognitive health and protect your independence.

It’s normal to feel worried when memory or thinking changes start to appear. Many people ask, “Do I really need an occupational therapy dementia assessment?”

The truth is — an OT dementia assessment isn’t about labels. It’s about understanding how changes in thinking are affecting your daily life and finding ways to support your independence and wellbeing.

Here’s how we can help 👇

🔹 Assess your cognitive strengths and challenges
🔹 Identify how dementia is impacting your daily activities
🔹 Create practical, personalised strategies to help you live well
🔹 Support families and carers with education and planning

Your GP or specialist focuses on diagnosis — we focus on what comes next: helping you live safely, confidently, and meaningfully every day.

✨ Early support can make a big difference. Learn more about how occupational therapy can help you live well with dementia: https://occupationaltherapybrisbane.com.au/dementia-assessment-and-treatment/

Living with Parkinson’s? The Right Assistive Device Can Make Daily Life Easier.

Finding the right aid for Parkinson’s Disease can feel overwhelming. With so many options, it’s easy to spend time and money on devices that don’t meet your needs — leaving frustration instead of support.

Occupational Therapy Brisbane helps you get the right assistive device for your stage of Parkinson’s, so you can stay independent and engaged in daily life. Here’s how we make a difference:

✨ Tailored to you – Every person’s needs are different. An OT assessment ensures devices suit your abilities, environment, and goals.
🧩 Support across all stages – From early tremor management to late-stage mobility and pressure care, the right aid can make daily activities safer and more manageable.
🛠 Practical solutions – Walkers, canes, adaptive utensils, shower chairs, communication tools, and more — each selected to improve independence and quality of life.
💪 Confidence and independence – With personalised guidance, you can focus on living your life rather than managing the challenges of Parkinson’s.

Choosing the right assistive device isn’t just about equipment — it’s about enhancing wellbeing, safety, and independence.

After a neurological event like a stroke or acquired brain injury (ABI), tasks that were once simple, managing finances, planning meals, or returning to work, can suddenly feel complex. This is often due to executive dysfunction, affecting skills like planning, problem-solving, judgment, and self-awareness.

Here are some ways to support executive function:

🟢 Start Simple – Break tasks into manageable steps and gradually increase complexity.
💪 Leverage Strengths – Use what’s working well to compensate for challenges.
📅 Create Routine – Structured schedules reduce cognitive load and help focus.
🎯 Find Motivation – Meaningful and enjoyable tasks boost engagement and learning.
🏢 Practice in Real Life – Work or community settings provide safe spaces to test skills and problem-solving.

Recovery takes time, but with consistent strategies and support, independence and confidence can improve.

If you or someone you know is experiencing challenges with executive function, talk to your doctor or therapist to plan a program suited to your needs.

💪 Finding your way back after stroke — one goal at a time

A stroke can change life in an instant. But with the right therapy, recovery continues long after you leave hospital.

At Occupational Therapy Brisbane, our Stroke Rehabilitation OT services are designed to help you rebuild skills, regain confidence and move forward — at home, in clinic, or online.

Here’s how we support your recovery:

🧠 Focused, personalised rehabilitation
Every person’s stroke journey is different. We work with you to set achievable goals and tailor therapy that targets what matters most — from movement and memory to daily independence.

🏡 Therapy where you need it
Choose from home-based visits, clinic sessions, or Telehealth — so you can keep progressing, wherever you are in your recovery.

⚙️ Evidence-based intensity
Research shows that stroke recovery improves with frequent, structured therapy. We aim to help you access more of the therapy time your recovery deserves.

🤝 Collaborative support
We work closely with physiotherapists, speech pathologists, and your specialist, as well as your GP, to ensure your care is coordinated and comprehensive.

Recovery after stroke is a journey — not a destination — and we’re here to walk it with you.

🧠 When was the last time you had your memory checked?

We’re quick to schedule heart check-ups, skin checks and blood pressure tests — but memory health is often overlooked until changes become hard to ignore.

At our Brain Health Clinic at OT Brisbane, we help adults take control of their memory health — whether you’ve noticed subtle changes or simply want to stay sharp as you age.

Here’s how we can support you:

🔍 Comprehensive assessment and early detection
We assess memory and cognitive function to identify early signs of change — giving you clarity and direction for next steps.

🏡 Support where you need it most
Home-based assessments and management for dementia or behavioural changes help maintain safety, comfort and quality of life.

💬 Education and planning for the future
We guide you and your family in understanding your results, creating care plans, and preparing for what’s ahead.

🌿 Prevention and lifestyle change programs
Even if you’re not experiencing symptoms, evidence shows that up to one in three cases of dementia may be preventable through brain-healthy habits.

Taking action early can make a real difference — for your confidence, independence and long-term wellbeing.

Grab rails are a simple but vital safety feature in bathrooms and toilets. But not all rails are made the same — and some can actually increase your risk of falling.

Here’s what to know before you choose:

⚙️ Safety first – Fixed grab rails, installed into the wall, provide secure, load-bearing support. Suction bars depend on smooth surfaces and can fail without warning.

🏡 For renters or travellers – Portable suction bars can help in temporary settings, but they shouldn’t replace a properly installed grab rail when safety is key.

🧰 Get professional advice – An occupational therapist can recommend and guide safe installations that suit your space, needs, and goals for independence.

Falls are one of the biggest threats to independence — but also one of the most preventable.
