NUHR Occupational Therapy

Targeted measures for a better everyday life

Being able to carry out everyday activities independently at work and in one's free time is extremely important. Only in this way is it possible to take one's own life into one's own hands in a self-determined manner and at the same time be an active part of the overall, socio-cultural environment. However, this is not always possible in an all-encompassing way. Various physical or mental illnesses, physical impairments or developmental disorders can limit people in their ability to act. This is exactly where we come in with NUHR Occupational Therapy, which we offer at the NUHR Medical Center in Lower Austria. It optimally complements our wide range of therapies and treatments.

Tried and tested exercises

For NUHR occupational therapy, we draw on a proven set of targeted interventions, exercises and methods. Our primary goal is: to help people of different ages to be able to perform their everyday actions at work and in their leisure time independently and satisfactorily again. As with all our therapies and forms of treatment, you as a person are the focus of occupational therapy. We analyze your individual situation, work with you to develop a plan, and guide you every step of the way toward improved ability to act. NUHR occupational therapy with us in Senftenberg includes the following core areas:

  • Treatment of orthopedic diseases
  • Treatment of neurological diseases
  • Splint care
  • Ergonomics consultation and health promotion

Occupational therapy in orthopedics

Occupational therapy can be used for a plethora of orthopedic conditions, including post-injury, post-surgery, and hand and arm disorders.

These include, for example, tendon injuries, tennis elbow or arthrosis of the finger and wrist joints. The most important measures that can provide improvement include exercise therapy, training of gross and fine motor skills, and joint protection in everyday life.

Occupational therapy in neurology

Occupational therapy can also help with many neurological diseases. People who have suffered a stroke can thus find their way back into everyday life with exercises that train motor skills as well as the functions of the arm.

The occupational therapy measures in this area also include: provision of assistive devices, writing training, training of cognitive skills such as concentration, memory and attention.

Splint care

Medical splints are often used for diseases, injuries or surgeries of the finger or wrist joints, such as a night positioning splint for carpal tunnel syndrome.

This is also part of occupational therapy's diverse range of tasks. Depending on your needs, these occupational therapy splints relieve the affected part of the body or ensure that it is immobilized. Each splint is individually shaped and adapted to you and your needs.

Health promotion and ergonomics

An optimal desk design or a back-friendly behavior in everyday life - both are important to be able to go through life self-determined for a long time.

The treatment form of occupational therapy therefore also includes health promotion and ergonomics. This includes both general joint protection principles and individual solutions that improve your everyday life. We give you the tools you need to make your life as joint-friendly and ergonomic as possible.

Occupational therapy in Lower Austria: An investment in the future

NUHR occupational therapy is not only a way to improve your present, but also an investment in your future. Whether it's more precise fine motor skills, better concentration, or a joint that works the way it's supposed to faster thanks to a splint, all of these things improve your quality of life. Occupational therapy with us in Senftenberg, Lower Austria, is thus a ticket to more self-determination and freedom. And we are happy to solve this together with you at the NUHR Medical Center.
