Mr Connor Hicks is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Belmont, VIC. You can find the practice at 79-83 High Street, Belmont VIC 3216. Connor helps people work through the day-to-day stuff that can feel harder after an injury, illness, or changing health needs.
Occupational therapy is about living well in the real world. That might mean looking at how someone manages getting dressed, cooking, showering, using the toilet, or getting around at home. At times, the goal is to build skills again. Other times, the focus is on making the day easier and safer, even if things won’t go back to how they were before.
In appointments, Connor will usually start with an assessment of daily living activities. This helps work out what’s getting in the way and what matters most to you day to day. From there, he can recommend assistive devices when they’re needed. That could include equipment or tools that help reduce strain, improve independence, and support safer movement at home.
Connor also helps people with tailored exercise plans. These aren’t just generic workouts. They’re designed around what you can realistically do and what you need to improve for everyday life. Sometimes it’s about building strength and stamina. Other times it’s about learning the right way to move so tasks feel more doable, with less pain or less tiredness.
Energy conservation is another big part of the work. Many people spend ages trying to “push through” until they crash. Connor teaches practical ways to pace activities, plan breaks, and use energy more wisely. It can be a simple shift, but it often makes a big difference to how long you can stay active.
Over time, the support can help people get back control of their routine. For some, that means returning to work or school tasks. For others, it means feeling more confident at home and having a plan that fits daily life. Connor aims to keep things practical and grounded, so goals are clear and progress is something you can see.
If you’re looking for an OT in Belmont, Connor Hicks is ready to help with assessment, recommendations, and hands-on guidance for everyday living.
