THE CANCER REHABILITATION SUPPORT TEAM CReST

Physiotherapy (State Registered Physiotherapist)

Physiotherapists assess and treat people with physical problems caused by accident, aging, disease or disability using physical approaches in the alleviation of all aspects of the person's condition.

Occupational Therapy (State Registered Occupational Therapist)

Occupational Therapists assess, rehabilitate and treat people using purposeful activity and occupation to prevent disability and promote health and independent function.

The philosophy of Occupational Therapy is:

• People are individuals of worth and inherently different from one another
• Activity is fundamental to well being
• Where occupational performance has been interrupted a person can:
  Through activity develop the adaptive skills required to restore, maintain or acquire function
  And
  Modify activity in order to facilitate occupational performance
