Our private OT’s in Somerset

The OT Practice is a leading provider of private occupational therapy services nationwide, and perfectly placed to help you, your family members or clients wherever you are located in Somerset or surrounding counties. We have experienced private therapists to cover every clinical specialism, servicing the entire Somerset region including Bath, Bridgwater, Taunton and Weston-Super-Mare.

Occupational therapists work to break down the barriers which hold back individuals in carrying out their day to day activities. OTs not only look at the physical effects of ageing, injury or disease, but also address the psycho-social, community and environmental factors that influence functional ability.

Our private Somerset therapists cover every area of OT, including paediatrics, housing & equipment, seating & postural management, neurological or functional rehabilitation and hand therapy. You can discover more about some of the therapists we have in the region by clicking on their profiles above, or you are welcome to call one of our client managers who will talk through your needs and find the right OT for you. Being a private practice, there are no clinic visits or opening hours to worry about - we arrange home or workplace visits at times convenient to our clients, including evenings and weekends.

If your enquiry relates to children’s occupational therapy, you can learn more about our dedicated paediatrics team by visiting the OT Practice Kids section of our site.

Client feedback

Just spoken to [case solicitor from large law firm] and she made a point of saying how much they enjoy working with the OT Practice. She said it is a pleasure to work with us because the convenient service we offer and the professional yet approachable attitude.
A case manager

Caroline (therapist) was fantastic, and for the first time it felt like someone was actually listening to me. It was great to actually have some positive feedback and advice as opposed to "carry on as you are". We have taken on board everything in the report and fingers crossed we can help Emily. Many thanks.
Mother of a private client aged 8

I just want to thank you again for the scooter. It has made a massive difference to me already. I have been out lots with my dog and even met my friend for a coffee. Thanks you so much for making my life a bit more normal and giving me some freedom back.
Bank Worker's Charity Beneficiary

Your therapist explained clearly what was happening with my tendons and muscles in a way that helped me understand could be achieved with exercises and manipulation. Also her advice on equipment that could help and instruction on its use was invaluable.
Mrs Smith, private hand therapy client

I received a prompt and informative reply to my request for information about the services they offer and how they would be able to meet the needs of the children in our very large primary school. We have been delighted with the service that we have received from the extremely knowledgeable Occupational Therapist and many children and staff have benefitted greatly.
