- HOW WE CAN HELP NHS AND CIC -

We can provide one off assessments to assist with urgent clients on your waiting lists or cases where you need additional support. We also have the capacity to continue with that case until it is completed, referred on or closed.

We are happy to work with you on long term or short term cases. Whilst we feel face to face assessments garner the best outcome we are happy to conduct virtual assessments too. We can also provide ongoing support to complement your clinical teams during sickness, annual leave or recruitment issues. 

We can provide clinical staff to assist in reducing your Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy waiting lists. We are happy to work with your systems, or if you prefer we can use our own internal systems and provide detailed clinical notes and outcomes for you to upload to your own systems.

We are skilled in delivering holistic and bespoke assessments of neurological, perceptual and cognitive changes. We understand that these kind of changes can have a huge impact on peoples confidence, mental health and independence. Which is why our work includes  tailored treatments and equipment provision to help make daily living easier, achieve your goals, and enhance your independence.  

We have spent the past few years assessing and working in community rehabilitation and discharge, providing work for clients who have been in crisis at home, have recently been discharged home from hospital or are soon due to be.

We have worked in acute NHS trusts and are skilled in working with trauma and elective orthopaedic clients. We are able to provide bespoke treatment plans, rehabilitation and equipment provision to maximise independence post surgery or acute episodes.

If you have been recently discharged from hospital or admitted in to a care home we can help maximise your independence. We have links with local  providers and can help you to return to every day tasks at your own pace.

Amputee Rehabilitation: We have worked in amputee rehabilitation for a number of years and we continue to treat amputees providing seating and postural equipment as required.

Elderly Rehabilitation:  Our team are able to provide expert advice on helping you stay independent and safe at home, they can advise on equipment and techniques to keep you independent for longer.

We are specialists in wheelchairs, seating and posture. We work for the best outcome for your wheelchair needs, be that powered or manual, to enhance your independence.

Our experienced therapists can provide an assessment and put you in touch with the best local and national equipment providers to get you what you need to be independent - and we can be there throughout that process too. 

We offer advice on 24/7 posture management in order to prevent or, maintain asymmetrical body shape, changes that effect falls, developing secondary conditions, skin integrity deterioration and loss of independence. 

We are trained to provide manual handling training to you, your carers and your family.

Our therapists hold qualifications enabling them to teach your staff or family to  manage manual handling better. This includes teaching to hoist correctly and training in the latest single handed care techniques.

The causes of having a fall are multifactorial. They can be due to muscle weakness, poor balance, visual impairment, certain medicines, environmental hazards or specific medical conditions. As we age our body shape changes, influenced by the interactions with surfaces when sitting, lying or standing. Certain medical conditions, compensatory postural change, gravity induced changes when sat dormant in unsupportive seating, or lying in bed for long periods of time can all contribute. These changes can also occur throughout our lives too. 

Body shape changes can be reduced or prevented, with education, knowledge and equipment, in order to delay balance issues developing when our centre of gravity falls outside our base of support. Ocean City Therapy advocates a 24/7 posture management approach, in order to prevent, correct, slow down or accommodate body shape changes, as part of our fall’s prevention practice.
