Neuro Occupational Health

To support those with neurological conditions, an occupational health company may refer to the specialist intervention of a neurological occupational therapy company.

How Can OH Support Individuals with Neurological Conditions?

When an employee has a neurological illness, injury or diagnosis, HR professionals may traditionally turn to occupational health (OH) for advice on areas such as fitness for work, return to work and workplace adjustments.

Krysalis can address many of these same workplace questions but through a different approach. Our neurological occupational therapists use rehabilitation and biopsychosocial models to understand how the interaction between the individual, their health, work role and environment affects everyday function and work performance.

Through specialist work capacity or workplace needs assessments and vocational rehabilitation, we provide practical, recommendations that address functional barriers, build confidence and support sustainable participation in work.

Krysalis can provide this specialist support directly or following referral from occupational health, depending on the needs of the individual and organisation.

A Neuro Example

An employee who has experienced a stroke and is off work needs more than a view on fitness for work. All parties need to understand how their brain, body, environment and work demands interact, and what will enable the best possible outcome.

At Krysalis, our neurological occupational therapists work with these challenges every day, combining clinical expertise and service outcome data with neuroscience, occupational science and rehabilitation models to support functional adjustment.

A specialist Work Capacity Assessment or a Workplace Needs Assessment identifies what the employee can do, what they need, what is getting in the way and what needs to change, providing clear, evidence-informed recommendations. We consider the needs of both the individual and the workplace, aiming for a sustainable, win-win outcome.

This may involve vocational rehabilitation, workplace adjustments or a graded return to work. Sometimes, the right outcome may be a different role or stepping away from work.
