Amanda Palmer is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Everton Park, QLD. She looks after day-to-day living and helps people build practical skills for day to day life. Her practice is at 137 Flockton Street, Everton Park QLD 4053.
Occupational therapy is all about helping you do the things that matter to you. In many cases, that means tackling everyday tasks that have become harder because of pain, injury, ongoing health issues, or changes in strength and movement over time. Amanda focuses on real routines like getting dressed, showering, cooking, managing energy, and staying active in a way that feels safe.
Appointments often start with an assessment of daily living activities. Amanda takes time to understand what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and where support or changes could make a big difference. From there, she can recommend adaptive equipment and ways to set up your home or daily routine so things are easier and less tiring.
At times, it’s also about building confidence through training. Amanda supports clients with personalised exercise programs, tailored to their needs and what they can realistically manage. The goal isn’t just to do exercises, but to help people carry those improvements into everyday life.
Energy conservation is another big part of the work. Many people learn the hard way that pushing through can lead to bigger setbacks. Amanda helps you use simple strategies to pace tasks, break activities into smaller chunks, and plan rest so you can get through your day without feeling wiped out.
Amanda’s approach stays practical and calm. She helps you think through options, try small changes, and see what fits your body and your life. Over time, that can make daily tasks feel more manageable, and it can also help people feel more in control.
She works with clients who want support with daily activities, equipment ideas, and safer ways to move. If you’re not sure what you need yet, an initial assessment can help sort out what’s happening and what might help next.
