Miss Zoe Monica Ruskan is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Leichhardt, in Sydney. You can find her practice at 155 Balmain Rd, Leichhardt NSW 2040. Her focus is on helping people get back to the everyday things that matter, whether that’s at home, at work, or in daily routines.
In many cases, the support she offers starts with figuring out what’s getting in the way. That might be trouble with daily living skills, mobility in the house, or managing tasks that most people do without thinking. She looks at the small details too, like how you move, how you plan your day, and what makes certain tasks harder or safer.
Zoe works with people who need more than just advice. She can help with assessments of daily living skills, then build a treatment plan that fits your real life. Plans can cover practical goal setting, ways to break tasks into steps, and strategies to reduce strain when you’re doing everyday activities.
At times, adaptive equipment makes a big difference. She can help people choose and use tools that support independence, from simple changes to more specific equipment for comfort and safety. The aim is usually the same: help you do things with less stress on your body, and with better control over your day.
Work can be tough when your body or focus isn’t what it used to be. Zoe also helps with ergonomic workplace setup. That can include guidance on how to set up your space, adjust how you do tasks, and reduce repetitive strain. Even small changes to posture, desk setup, or task habits can add up over time.
Her training in occupational therapy supports her hands-on approach to practical problem solving. She uses a calm, steady style and pays attention to what you can do, what you want to work towards, and what feels realistic.
Day to day, she helps people move toward greater independence. If you’re dealing with changes after an injury, adjusting to a long-term condition, or simply wanting support to make daily life easier, Zoe can help sort out a clear, workable plan.
