Claire Moir Mcclenaghan is an Occupational Therapist (OT) in Adelaide, based at 227 Wakefield Street, Adelaide SA 5000.
Claire’s work is focused on helping people manage everyday life in a way that feels more doable and safer. That can mean looking at how someone handles daily tasks at home, in the workplace, or out in the community. In many cases, it’s about making small changes that add up to big improvements.
People come to see Claire for support with daily living skills. This might include things like getting washed and dressed, managing routines, working through fatigue, or figuring out how to break tasks into steps. At times, it’s also about helping with hand and arm strength, especially when pain, stiffness, or weakness gets in the way.
Claire also helps with cognitive retraining activities. This is useful when memory, attention, or planning skills are affected, and it can be frustrating when things that used to be easy suddenly feel hard. The goal is practical strategies and exercises that fit into real life, not just in a clinic room.
Another big part of the work is recommendations for adaptive equipment. If the right tool or setup can reduce stress and make daily tasks safer, Claire helps work out what’s most helpful. This might include ideas for hand support, comfort, or ways to support independence when grip or movement is limited.
Over time, Claire uses a steady, hands-on approach. She looks closely at what’s getting in the way and then works through options step by step. It’s not just about “doing exercises”; it’s about building a plan that makes sense for the person’s goals and their everyday routine.
In terms of background, Claire’s practice is grounded in occupational therapy training. That training supports her focus on function, daily activities, and the small changes that can help someone feel more in control.
There isn’t specific research or clinical trial information listed here. Still, like many healthcare professionals, Claire keeps up with current OT practice through ongoing learning, so the support stays relevant to the way therapy is done now.
If you’re after an OT who can help with daily living skills, hand and arm strength work, cognitive retraining, or practical equipment ideas, Claire Moir Mcclenaghan is based in central Adelaide and ready to help you map out what will work best.
