They can take place in a closed office in a clinic or remotely in telerehabilitation. If necessary, the occupational therapist can move around your environment (at work for example) or invite a significant person from your entourage to a meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":590,"template":"","class_list":["post-3926","expertise","type-expertise","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mental health occupational therapy | PhysioExtra<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Mental health occupational therapy is ideal for anyone whose functioning is affected by a psychological condition.
