Occupational Therapist Job Description

Lori Said:

my company is sending me to an occupational therapist as i can not carry out all of my contracted duties?

We Answered:

An occupational therapist is there to help you with your bad back. It sounds to me that you work for a good company.
If your company want to dismiss you through illness they have to go through a doctor, but even then, they have to give medical reasons as to why they want to dismiss you. However, they could make you redundant and save a lot of hassle.
It seems to me that your visit to an occupational therapists is a good thing.

Laura Said:

does anybody know the answer?

We Answered:

An occupational therapist deals with ways to make things easier for you when you have health related problems. They may advice and supply a special chair at work if you suffer back pain or a hoist at home if you are unable to stand from a chair or bed.

A physical therapist shows you ways to move the body to relieve pain.

That is a very basic explination, I'm sure you will find more detailed explinations if you search online.
