Fatigue management

Alison is one of The OT Practice’s expert Occupational Therapists who specialises in Fatigue Management. Here, Alison discusses how Long COVID is affecting our clients and shares some practical guidance for recovery and long-term fatigue management.

Fatigue is something that is part of most of our client’s rehabilitation journeys. OT's work with clients to break down tasks & build strategic rehabilitation programmes whilst managing the need for rest & recuperation allowing clients to realise their goals & stretch their capabilities.

In this case study Lucas has sustained an head injury resulting in multiple impairments including cognitive and some physical difficulties. Here we can see how an OT can help with neuro rehabilitation using a goal centred approach.

In this case study we learn how structure and routine combined with anxiety and fatigue management techniques can support the transition back to work following accident or illness.

This case study tells the story of Hannah, one of our clients at The OT Practice. Referred by her case manager, Hannah and her OT worked together to ensure that assistive technology was used practically and appropriately to achieve her goals of independence. Hannah has kindly agreed to allow us to share her story
