Meet Leeanne: Championing Recovery in Neuro and Stroke Rehabilitation
When it comes to neurological recovery, the journey is rarely a straight line. It requires patience, specialised expertise, and a therapist who sees the person behind the diagnosis. Thatβs why we are so proud to highlight Leeanne, our Occupational Therapist specialising in Neurological and Stroke Rehabilitation.
Leeanne brings a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate heart to our team, helping clients navigate the complexities of life after a brain injury or stroke.
What Sets Leeanne Apart?
Neuro-rehabilitation is a highly specialised field. Unlike general therapy, it focuses on neuroplasticity, the brainβs incredible ability to reorganise itself by forming new neural connections. Leeanneβs approach is built on three core pillars:
πͺ Evidence-Based Practice: Leeanne utilises the latest clinical techniques to help "rewire" the brain, focusing on motor learning and sensory integration.
πͺ Holistic Problem Solving: A stroke doesn't just affect movement; it affects memory, mood, and the ability to perform daily tasks. Leeanne looks at the "whole picture" to ensure her clients can return to the activities they love.
πͺ Tailored Independence: Whether it's relearning how to cook a meal, returning to work, or using specialised adaptive equipment, Leeanneβs goals are always dictated by what matters most to the client.
Her Areas of Expertise
Leeanne supports clients facing a variety of neurological challenges, including:
π Stroke Recovery: Addressing hemiparesis (weakness on one side), fine motor coordination, and visual-spatial awareness.
π Cognitive Rehabilitation: Helping clients manage "brain fog," executive functioning, and memory strategies.
π Upper Limb Therapy: Using innovative exercises to regain function in the arms and hands.
π Home Environment Optimisation: Assessing living spaces to ensure safety and accessibility, making independence a reality.
"Recovery is about more than just physical strength; itβs about reclaiming your identity and your autonomy. My goal is to bridge the gap between 'surviving' a neurological event and truly 'living' again." Leeanne, OT.
Why Occupational Therapy Matters in Neuro-Rehab
While physiotherapy often focuses on how you move, Leeanneβs work as an OT focuses on what those movements enable you to do. By breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps, she helps clients build confidence and see tangible results and progressπ
