We also offer in hospital acute therapy for patients that suffered physical or cognitive injuries.
Paediatric Services
We provide services both at the practice as well as school-based therapy for children from birth to 12 years. This means that children are seen in their natural environment and skills gained in therapy can more easily be generalised to their everyday tasks and routines. The assessment and therapy process is tailored to meet each child/family’s needs.
In Hospital Services
We provide acute care to adult and paediatric patients at Cintocare Hospital. Services includes : Neurological Rehabilitation for patients that suffered neurological injuries or disease. Physical Rehabilitation for patients with functional impairments due to physical injury or disease. Hand Therapy and Pain Management.
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) is a mix of art and science, creativity and evidence, fact and feeling, prevention and treatment.
Occupational therapy is the only profession that helps people across their lifespan to do the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations).We ensure people can participate in their lives fully by considering the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, environmental, spiritual and socioeconomic factors of their past, present and future. Occupational therapy practitioners enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, and prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability.

TESTIMONIALS
I have seen tremendous progress with both my sons since they started OT with Jolene. Their confidence, strength and abilities have really improved. They love going to therapy and like their therapist a lot! I too feel that they are in good hands. She’s always nice and patient with my boys.

Ek is `n Gr. R juffrou by Skuilkrans VKO sentrum. Jolene is `n terapeut waarmee ons kleuterskool `n fantastiese pad gestap het. Sy het `n groot passie vir haar werk en ek kan werklik `n verskil in my kleuters sien wat deur haar hande was. Sy stap `n goeie pad saam kind, ouer en juffrou. Sy kan hoogs aanbeveel word vir jou kind.

My meisiekind het by Jolene terapie gekry vanaf begin 2020 en wat `n plesier was dit nie. Jolene se werk is fantasties. Sy het die wêreld se geduld met kinders en help hulle vreeslik mooi. My meisiekind kon nie wag om klas te gaan elke week nie. Ek sal Jolene sterk aanbeveel vir enige mamma. Miané se algehele prestasie, asook haar tas en ouditiewe sensitiwiteit het vreeslik verbeter. Dit was absoluut die moeitewerd om vir Jolene te gebruik en te danke aan haar het ek vandag `n ander kind. Baie dankie Jolene jy het `n hart van goud.

Tydens die grendeltydperk het ek die voorreg gehad om aanlynkursusse deur Jolene by te woon. Die kursusse het gehandel oor twee onderwerpe: dominansie en konsentrasie. As grondslagfase onderwyser is ek ongelooflik dankbaar vir die raad, insig en hulp wat ek vir elke kind gekry het wat deur my hande gaan, om hierdie kinders te help ontwikkel, stimuleer, vorder en te leer in my klas. Jolene doen vreeslik baie moeite om ouer, kind en onderwyser te betrek en te bemagtig met kennis om te help met die proses van terapie. Hope kennis en ervaring maak van Jolene se praktyk `n reuse sukses. Sy is tops! Ek sal haar vir enige person aanbeveel.
