Have you ever wondered what exactly occupational therapy can bring to the soft tissue arena? Well strap in, because in this episode we cover it all! Today we speak with Jordan van der Westhuizen (do you think I could pronounce his last name after I hit record!?). Jordan is an occupational therapist who specialises in the area of soft tissue. He and his business partner Taylor Nicholas have founded not one, but two soft tissue clinics in Perth Australia. Clearly a service in demand!
In this episode Jordan sheds light on exactly what he does as an OT working in his own soft tissue clinic. He explains what soft tissue therapy is, the role OTs play, the difference between OT and PT in this space, the types of clients he treats, causes of soft tissue injuries, types of assessments and screenings, evidence-based interventions commonly utilised in his practice, how we can advocate for OT in this area of work, plus SO MUCH MORE!
Jordan is passionate about helping clients understand their injuries and issues so that they can get back to the occupations that they love. This is one jam-packed episode not to be missed!
